Resources

  • Counter Party - the recipient/payer record itself: INDIVIDUAL or BUSINESS, with identity and address details.
  • External Card - a debit/prepaid card for a counterparty, used as the destination for a card payout.
  • External Wallet - an on-chain address for a counterparty, used as the destination for on-chain operation.

​
Individual vs. Business

Every counterparty is created with a type of INDIVIDUAL or BUSINESS, which determines which fields apply, for example firstName/lastName for individuals, businessName for businesses. This type can’t change after creation.
Creating a counterparty only requires the minimum identifying fields (name, or business name). Adding an External Account or External Card to that counterparty requires more - see each resource’s page for its specific requirements. If the counterparty is missing a required field, HIFI returns ACTION_NOT_ALLOWED (422) and you’ll need to update the counterparty with the missing information before retrying.
