Card2Card Transaction

Request URL

POST /ibis/financial/card-to-card

Description

This endpoint will transfer funds from one card to another card (or one vAccount to another vAccount). When using this endpoint to transfer between vAccount only accounts, use the issued cFiAccountIds as the value for the cardFromId and cardToId properties.

Note that funds cannot be pulled from a debit card or vAccount unless the status code is "B" (ON) and funds are available. You can, however, transfer funds to a pre-active card or vAccount (issued but not yet activated). Also, when pulling funds from a credit card, the requested transfer will be declined if it causes the credit card to go over the available credit limit.

The /ibis/financial/card-to-card endpoint supports idempotency and will not accept requests with duplicate reference IDs. The external reference ID included in the request body is how connectFi controls for duplicate transaction requests. It is important to note that transaction requests submitted with unique reference IDs will not be considered duplicates, even if there are other properties with identical values. For example, the following requests are not considered duplicates.

{
    "reference": "EXT_REFERENCE_ID1", //Different reference IDs
    "cardFromId": "icrd_5lFBjJG6pPlapyodSxZ97a",
    "cardToId": "icrd_71iRvTzeQckz3fNxQ2DVqM",
    "description": "Both of these transactions will post.",
    "amount": 50,
    "currency": "USD"
}

    "reference": "EXT_REFERENCE_ID2", //Different reference IDs
