Add Bank Account

Checkissuing uses Plaid to add and instantly verify bank accounts. Due to this, in most cases there is no fully automated way to add and verify a bank account. By utilizing the bank-accounts/add method you will receive a URL that must be visited by the owner of the account or a person with the bank accounts credentials.

The URL will lead to a page that allows the visitor to securely verify their bank account. Upon completion of this verification the user will be sent to the redirect_uri provided
