The following are the four supported combinations of recipient bank account details:

iban
account_number and swift_code
account_number, swift_code, and routing_code_value
account_number, routing_code_type, routing_code_value, and bank_country_code

Examples:

IBAN:

1 {"currency": "AED", "iban": "AE070331234567890123456"}

Account number and Swift code:

1 {"currency": "AED", "account_number": "12345678", "swift_code": "BOMLAEADXXX"}

Account number, Swift code, and Routing code value:

1 {"currency": "AED", "account_number": "12345678", "swift_code": "BOMLAEADXXX", "routing_code_value": "601613"}

Account number, Routing code type, Routing code value, and Bank country code:

Recipient bank account details vary by country. For example, an IBAN is sufficient for most European and Nordic countries. However, for the United States, you must provide an account number, routing code type, routing code value, and the bank's country code. You must also specify the `currency` of the recipient's bank account using a three-letter ISO 4217 currency code (e.g., `GBP` for British Pound). The following are the four supported combinations of recipient bank account details: - `iban` - `account_number` and `swift_code` - `account_number`, `swift_code`, and `routing_code_value` - `account_number`, `routing_code_type`, `routing_code_value`, and `bank_country_code` **Examples:** 1. IBAN: ```json {"currency": "AED", "iban": "AE070331234567890123456"} ``` 2. Account number and Swift code: ```json {"currency": "AED", "account_number": "12345678", "swift_code": "BOMLAEADXXX"} ``` 3. Account number, Swift code, and Routing code value: ```json {"currency": "AED", "account_number": "12345678", "swift_code": "BOMLAEADXXX", "routing_code_value": "601613"} ``` 4. Account number, Routing code type, Routing code value, and Bank country code: ```json {"currency": "AED", "account_number": "12345678", "routing_code_type": "SORT", "routing_code_value": "601613", "bank_country_code": "ARE"} ```
