Request parameters
While interacting with our API, you may encounter specific parameters in the request body for various endpoints. Below are key parameters and their possible values.
Method
The method parameter appears in the Payout API when initiating a payout. It represents the channel through which the money will be sent.
bank_transfer – Sends the payout via bank transfer (available for NGN, GBP, EUR transactions).
interac – Sends the payout using Interac (available for CAD transactions).
ach - Sends the payout using ACH (available for USD transactions).
wire - Sends the payout using Wire (available for USD transactions).
crypto - Sends the payout using Crypto (available for USD transactions).
Use either of these values depending on which provider you want to use for the payout process.
For the Collection API, the currently documented value is:
card - Creates a card collection request for a business wallet.
File category
The file_category parameter appears in the File API when requesting a pre-signed URL for upload. It represents the type of file you want to upload.
identity – Identity document. Required to verify a customer. For individual customers, this must be a Driver’s License, Passport, or Resident Permit. For business customers, this must be a Certificate of Incorporation. ID cards (National Identity Cards) are not accepted. No other document types are supported.
identity_back – Back side of the identity document. Use this when the identity document is two-sided (e.g. driver’s license). Not required for single-sided documents (e.g. passport, certificate of incorporation).
proof_of_address – Proof of address.
liveness_check – Liveness check.
All uploaded documents must be clear, legible, and authentic. Blurry, cropped, obscured, or otherwise unclear images will not be reviewed and will be rejected.

There are no exceptions or compromises.
