Initiate an external account

Initiates a new external account with status=Unverified and starts the micro-deposit process. See externalAccount object definition for parameter details.

📘

In the sandbox environment, if you have NACHA enabled, a "magic value" of 123456789 for the routingNumber property may be used for testing purposes. This will set the name to COREPRO SANDBOX BANK. Additionally, all trial deposit amounts in the Sandbox environment will be 0.18 and 0.28, and /externalAccount/verify can be called immediately. However, in production, a request to /externalAccount/verify must be sent at a later date to allow time for the ACH process to happen at the external bank.
