Key Steps

1. Authenticate to Momentum

Use the authenticate and refresh endpoints.

2. Create a customer and associated external account, which will be the funding destination

Use the POST /persons or POST /businesses endpoint to create the customer and the POST /external/accounts endpoint to create the external account.

  • The external account can be created while verification is occurring
  • If you are using your own account verification provider (BYO-AVS), the external account will be automatically verified

3. Transfer funds to the destination

Use the POST /transfers endpoint to create the transfer.

  • All Persons or Businesses and External Accounts must be in a verified state before the transfer can be created
  • Do not pass the source object to the Transfers API. By passing only the destination, Momentum understands that the transfer is a payout and will pull funds from the FBO balance
