Country and Currency

This reference covers bank payment methods (pay-to-bank and pay-by-bank). Card payment methods use separate collection flows; markets and currencies for cards are not listed here.

Bank accounts are identified by country_code, currency_code, and market-specific fields. Use the table below for expected combinations, request field shapes, and typical verification behavior. Your integration may enable a subset of rows today; additional markets are added over time.

When you add a bank payment method, send country_code, currency_code, routing_number_type, account_number, and routing_number consistent with the row for that currency. Mismatched combinations (for example a US country code with an IBAN-shaped account, or Great Britain with ABA routing) return 400 validation errors.

For United States bank accounts, country_code and currency_code often default to US and USD when omitted; routing_number_type defaults to aba.

Bank payment methods by currency

Currency	Market	`country_code`	`currency_code`	`routing_number_type`	`account_number`	`routing_number`	Verification	Verification timing
USD	United States	`US`	`USD`	`aba`	Domestic account number (digits only; not IBAN-shaped)	9-digit ABA routing number	US ABA account verification	Often `verified` or `failed` on create
GBP	Great Britain	`GB`	`GBP`	`bic`	Valid GB IBAN (check digits; GB prefix)	BIC / SWIFT (8 or 11 characters)	Global account verification (Liink Confirm)	May be `pending` until verification completes
EUR	Eurozone (for example `DE`, `FR`, `ES`, `IT`, `NL`)	Supported eurozone code	`EUR`	`bic`	IBAN for the selected `country_code` (prefix must match)	BIC / SWIFT (8 or 11 characters)	Global account verification	May be `pending` until verification completes
INR	India	`IN`	`INR`	`ifsc`	Domestic bank account number	11-character IFSC (for example `HDFC0001234`)	Global account verification	May be `pending` until verification completes

All request fields are strings. account_number and routing_number are required; routing_number_type, country_code, and currency_code are optional but must match the row when provided.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`verification_status`	String	`pending`, `verified`, or `failed` — see Payment Methods API for the verification status lifecycle
`country_code`	String	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code of the bank account
`currency_code`	String	ISO 4217 currency code of the account

When verification is asynchronous, poll payment method list or detail endpoints, or rely on webhooks, until verification_status is verified or failed.
