Bad Request: invalid x-bic format
POST {{baseUrl}}/accounts/verification
The service verifies that an account exists and is capable of receiving incoming funds. The service uses the beneficiary bank subscribed as data provider to perform the account verification that usually implies that
the account is open, properly identified by the given number and, depending
on the jurisdiction and market practices in use where the account is held,
that the creditor name matches the name of the account holder. When the beneficiary bank did not subscribe as data provider, SWIFT will use pseudonymized account statistics to perform the account number verification that implies that the account exists and is likely to receive funds and the creditor name will not be verified. SWIFT and the beneficiary banks subscribed as data provider do not take liability for the response and do not provide any
guarantee on the outcome of an actual transaction being sent to this account.
The information provided is meant to be as accurate as possible at the time
that the request was processed. The requester must pass the creditor name
and the service provider can use this information as part of the verification
or not.
