The Recipient object

Description

A Recipient represents the beneficiary and the beneficiary account (typically a bank account) of a payout.

The new set of Recipient endpoints replaces the legacy Bank Account endpoints, including bank account types.

Each recipient can be used for one combination of a payout method and currency, which together determine the account details required.

The Recipients feature also provides endpoints for you to:

  • Dynamically retrieve the schema of a Recipient
  • Validate a user’s data in advance of registering the account

Recipient registration for payouts also systematically requires SCA, thereby enabling the payout request benefit from an SCA exemption as a trusted beneficiary.

For more details, see the Recipients guide.

Attributes

The Recipient object is returned by the POST Create a Recipient and GET View a Recipient endpoints. The GET List recipients for a User endpoint returns a condensed RecipientListItem.
