Accounts
Overview
An account represents a financial relationship that can be associated with either a business or a person. Accounts are central to transaction processing, balance tracking, and product lifecycle management across our infrastructure.
This section includes the required fields for account records. Each account is uniquely identified and includes attributes that support financial operations, compliance, and reporting.
Account data includes:
- Unique identifiers for the account, business, and optionally a person
- Account category and product type (e.g., deposit or commercial card)
- Open and close dates for lifecycle tracking
- Account status and current balance
- Balance sign to indicate debit or credit position
- Platform information for third-party resellers (if applicable)
These fields ensure that each account is accurately recorded, categorized, and maintained, enabling seamless integration with related entities such as Business, Person, and Card.
