Rapyd enables you to issue a bank account number to a customer's Rapyd Wallet.
The customer can top up the wallet with a bank transfer to the bank account number.
For example, a customer owns a wallet as described in Creating a Rapyd Wallet. The customer wants their wallet to have a bank account number so that they can transfer money directly into the wallet. The customer provides information requested by your website or mobile application, and he receives a bank account number for their wallet.
Issuing a Bank Account Number to a Wallet Workflow
Let’s look at the highlights of your workflow.
- A customer on your website or mobile app requests a bank account number for the customer's wallet, and provides the required information.
- The back end asks Rapyd to issue a bank account number to the wallet.
- Rapyd issues the bank account number and returns a confirmation to your back end.
- You display the bank account number to the customer.
How it Works
Prerequisites
To run the examples of this use case, you must create the following ID in your own sandbox:
- ewallet - Run Create Wallet for the customer's wallet. Use the ID you get in the response. For more information, see Creating a Wallet.
Issuing a Bank Account Number to the Wallet
You ask Rapyd to issue a bank account number to the customer's wallet.
For that, you'll use Issue Bank Account Number to Wallet with the following parameters:
Body Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
ewallet | Enter the wallet 'id' that you received when you created the wallet in your sandbox. For purposes of this use case lesson, we are using ewallet_45c238c0d8882467128318e6a4977eed, which is the wallet ID we created in our sandbox. |
country | Enter SK as the country code for Slovakia, where the customer lives. |
