Account Code

Using the Account Code feature on Route, you can now provide aliases during account onboarding via your Dashboard. Therefore, in addition to the linked account id, you can alternatively use aliases to create direct transfers and transfers via orders or payments API. Suppose you have a linked account called GoodWill Traders North, with an account_id acc_CNo3jSI8OkFJJJ. You can use the account code feature to create an alias called Acme_Corp_North and use it in the APIs. Characteristics of the Account Code:

• Type Varchar(255) type
• Minimum and Maximum length Minimum 3 characters and maximum 20 characters length.
• Allowed characters Alphanumeric (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), periods (.), dashes(-) and underscores(_). Alphabets are case-sensitive (A and a will be considered differently).
• Unique value Each linked account must have a unique account code.

An example of an account code is GoodWill_Traders-1.
