Reserve Account with Limit
To reserve an account on Monnify, you’ll need to call the reserve account endpoint providing the information in the table below (remember to also add the authentication header)
This endpoint is protected with OAuth 2.0 Bearer token
Endpoint URL: {{base_url}}/api/v1/bank-transfer/reserved-accounts/limit
For the version 2 Reserved Account the v1 in the above url changes to v2
HTTP Method: POST
The {{base_url}} for test is https://sandbox.monnify.com but when you go live, it changes to the live url
Once an account number has been reserved for a customer, the customer can make payment by initiating a transfer to that account number at any time. Once the transfer hits the partner bank, we will notify you with the transfer details along with the accountReference you specified when reserving the account.
