POSTAdd Settlement Bank Account

Register a bank account as an AePS fund-settlement recipient for an agent.

POST/user/payment/aeps/settlement/account

Adds and name-verifies a bank account to which an agent can settle AePS funds. On success a recipient_id is returned — pass it to Initiate Settlement. If the account holder name does not match, the response reports the mismatch. An agent can register up to 3 settlement accounts, and only banks that offer account verification are accepted.
