Payment Instruments

This object represents a payment method (e.g. bank account, credit card, debit card, etc.) belonging to a borrower.

Create payment instrument

Create a payment instrument.

When creating a payment instrument using the Plaid Account option, two flows are supported:

  1. Pass only accessToken and accountIds. This will create a payment instrument with status=inactive. You can then use Update payment instrument endpoint to set the accountHolderType, and accountHolderName fields, and set the status to active.

  2. Pass the required fields as well as accountHolderType, and accountHolderName. This will create a payment instrument with status=active. The payment instrument will then be ready to use.

Note: This endpoint returns an array containing a single payment instrument to allow future support for Plaid multi-account select.
