Adds support for Japan and China as Global Payouts cross-border payout destinations Breaking changes Public preview
What’s new
Adds support for Global Payouts recipient bank accounts in Japan and China. It also adds the following values for those countries to the read-only default_outbound_destination enum on the Account v2 object’s recipient configuration:
- jp _ bank _ account : Japan
- cn _ bank _ account : China
This release also adds two possible bank account type values futsu and toza that are specific to Japanese bank accounts.
Why is this a breaking change?
Japanese bank accounts take on bank account types futsu or toza, while every other country bank account takes on checking or savings. Upgrading to this version would require accounting for the possibility of these two new values being returned through the bank_account_type field on the Payout Method.
Impact
Your recipients in these two countries can now create bank accounts to prepare for receiving cross-border payouts using Global Payouts. You can use OutboundSetupIntents to create the bank accounts and OutboundPayments to send the payouts. These bank accounts can also serve as the default outbound destination on the recipient accounts.
