Bribes

Asalaamu alaikum Respected Mufti Saheb

I was in need of purchasing a house, my friend introduced me to a person who organizes lists of houses that the banks sell at below market value. I paid this person
(A) R20 000.00 in cash to source the list from his contact
(B) who apparently works in a bank, I have not met or seen this other person. Will this be considered a bribe?

Jazaakallah Khair
