Create Beneficiary RESTful API

API Details

Important: The JWS-Signature header is required for this endpoint.

Unlike the Direct Debit payment API, Beneficiary and CT requests do not require a Creditor Scheme ID or SUN reference.

Before you can initiate a payment via the Create Credit Transfer request you must first create a beneficiary. Alternatively it is possible to generate a new beneficiary and a payment in a single request. See the Create Credit Transfer and Beneficiary request.

Note: at its most basic, a beneficiary requires a name and a bank account reference. Additional data may also be stored but is not mandatory (address details and contact details, for example)

Important: Endpoints may be extended from time to time and any changes we make will follow our Versioning and Backward Compatibility rules. This means that the code that you write today must be designed to be robust enough to handle any future changes (where a new object is added to (or removed from) a specific API response, for example).
