Description

❗️

You can send ACH transfers only for your insureds. If you want to send ACH transfer for non insured, go to Send pending payment

📘

Where to get insured's email?

You can get list of all created insureds. Go to Get list of all insureds

📘

Where to get bank id?

You can get all existing banks for any you insured. Go to Get list of insured’s banks for more information about it.

When accepting a pending payment as an ACH transaction, you must always indicate the bank Id that you intend to use on the insured's side.

When a transaction is created, the payment changes to the LOCK status.
If the transaction is successfully created, the pending payment status will change to In-transit.

Such a payment has the following statuses:

  • In-transit - transaction in progress;
  • Settled - transaction completed successfully;
  • Failed - the transaction did not complete successfully;
  • Canceled - the transaction has been canceled.
