This section covers the bank account management options within the Brite API. A bank account can be created via the Brite API to use for withdrawals in cases where the merchant already has all the necessary bank and customer details.
The customer bank account is automatically created in Brite during a deposit but in addition to this there are other ways to create the bank account. A customer bank account must exist when doing a direct transaction withdrawal but in addition to this the Brite client can be used for withdrawals where then the customer will authenticate in the client and select the bank account.
Hence, in Brite bank account can be created via:
- Deposit Session
- Withdrawal Session
- BankAccount Selection Session
- Create Bank Account API
Create a Bank Account #
When creating a bank account, merchants will populate the bank account information via API and get a bank_account_id in return that can be used across the different API functions that Brite offers.
