GET
Resolve bank code to institution name
Resolves a bank code to the institution it belongs to. Give it a SWIFT/BIC code or a US routing number as the searchTerm, along with the codeType, and it returns the matching bank or institution name. Use this when you hold a code and need the institution behind it, for example resolving a SWIFT code to a bank name before creating a SWIFT payment method.
This is not the same as Resolve Payment Method, which takes an account number and returns the account holder’s details. This endpoint resolves the institution, not the account.

Authorizations

x-api-key
string
header
required

Static business API key issued from the dashboard. A business can provision multiple API keys, each scoped to a configurable set of permissions (e.g. read transactions, create deposits, etc). Permissions are chosen per key at creation time in the dashboard and may be revoked by deleting the key. Requests made with a key that does not include the permission required by the target endpoint is rejected with a 401 Unauthorized response, the same response an unrecognised, malformed or revoked key returns. The API does not distinguish the two cases on the wire. Manage your keys and their permissions under Developer → API keys in the dashboard.

Headers

x-api-signature
string

Signature of the request payload, used for request authentication where payload signing is enabled for your business.

x-api-version
string

API version in ISO 8601 format. The only supported version is 2026-05-18, which is also the default when the header is omitted. Any other value is rejected with a 400 Bad Request.
