Get data about your merchant accounts

Learn how to retrieve your merchant account IDs through the API.


📘

You can also access you merchant account IDs on Console.

To retrieve data for all of your merchant accounts (usually one each for GBP and EUR currencies), make a GET request to the /v3/merchant-accounts endpoint.

If successful, you get a series of items in the response when you call this endpoint. Each entry in the items array includes these objects:

FieldTypeDescription
idStringThe id for the merchant account the other information within the JSON object
currencyStringThe ISO-4217 currency code of the currency that the merchant account is for.
account_identifierStringThe IBAN of the merchant account. Also includes the SCAN details for a GBP merchant account.
available_balance_in_minorNumberThe available balance to make payments and payouts from that merchant account.

This is in the smallest denomination of the merchant account's currency. For example, 100 is equal to 1 GBP or 1 EUR.

This balance accounts for any payments and payouts that are not yet in a terminal state and is therefore unavailable.
current_balance_in_minorNumberThe current balance in the merchant account.

This is in the smallest denomination of the merchant account's currency. For example, 100 is equal to 1 GBP or 1 EUR.

This balance includes any payments or payouts that are not yet in a terminal state, so can be higher than the amount currently available.
account_holder_nameStringThe name associated with the merchant account.

This is what the user sees on their bank statement unless you provide a different account_holder_name in the beneficiary parameter when you create a payment.

This is an example of a successful response from the /v3/merchant-accounts endpoint:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "AB8FA060-3F1B-4AE8-9692-4AA3131020D0",
      "currency": "GBP",
      "account_identifiers": [
        {
          "type": "sort_code_account_number",
          "sort_code": 560029,
          "account_number": 26207729
        },
        {
          "type": "iban",
          "iban": "FR7630006000011234567890189"
        }
      ],
      "available_balance_in_minor": 0,
      "current_balance_in_minor": 0,
      "account_holder_name": "string"
    },
    {
			"id": "eb8d82a6-0ce9-4e91-ba99-d895649633f0",
			"currency": "EUR",
			"account_identifiers": [
				{
					"type": "iban",
					"iban": "GB86CLRB04066800015805"
				}
			],
			"available_balance_in_minor": 0,
			"current_balance_in_minor": 0,
			"account_holder_name": "string"
   	}
	]
}

If you want to see the data for a single merchant account only, add the merchant account id as a path parameter with the /v3/merchant-accounts/{id} endpoint.
