Create a recurring transfer

Use the /transfer/recurring/create endpoint to initiate a new recurring transfer. This capability is not currently supported for Transfer UI or Platform Payments (beta) customers.

transfer/recurring/create
Request fields
client_id
string
Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.
secret
string
Your Plaid API secret. The secret is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-SECRET header or as part of a request body.
access_token
requiredstring
The Plaid access_token for the account that will be debited or credited.
idempotency_key
requiredstring
A random key provided by the client, per unique recurring transfer. Maximum of 50 characters.
The API supports idempotency for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. For example, if a request to create a recurring fails due to a network connection error, you can retry the request with the same idempotency key to guarantee that only a single recurring transfer is created.

Max length: 50
account_id
requiredstring
The Plaid account_id corresponding to the end-user account that will be debited or credited.
type
requiredstring
The type of transfer. This will be either debit or credit. A debit indicates a transfer of money into the origination account; a credit indicates a transfer of money out of the origination account.

Possible values: debit, credit
network
requiredstring
Networks eligible for recurring transfers.

Possible values: ach, same-day-ach, rtp
ach_class
string
Specifies the use case of the transfer. Required for transfers on an ACH network. For more details, see ACH SEC codes.
Codes supported for credits: ccd, ppd Codes supported for debits: ccd, tel, web
"ccd" - Corporate Credit or Debit - fund transfer between two corporate bank accounts
"ppd" - Prearranged Payment or Deposit - the transfer is part of a pre-existing relationship with a consumer, e.g. bill payment
"tel" - Telephone-Initiated Entry
"web" - Internet-Initiated Entry - debits from a consumer’s account where their authorization is obtained over the Internet

Possible values: ccd, ppd, tel, web
amount
requiredstring
The amount of the transfer (decimal string with two digits of precision e.g. "10.00"). When calling /transfer/authorization/create, specify the maximum amount to authorize. When calling /transfer/create, specify the exact amount of the transfer, up to a maximum of the amount authorized. If this field is left blank when calling /transfer/create, the maximum amount authorized in the authorization_id will be sent.
user_present
boolean
If the end user is initiating the specific transfer themselves via an interactive UI, this should be true; for automatic recurring payments where the end user is not actually initiating each individual transfer, it should be false.
description
requiredstring
The description of the recurring transfer.
test_clock_id
string
Plaid’s unique identifier for a test clock. This field may only be used when using sandbox environment. If provided, the created recurring_transfer is associated with the test_clock. New originations are automatically generated when the associated test_clock advances.
schedule
requiredobject
The schedule that the recurring transfer will be executed on.
interval_unit
requiredstring
The unit of the recurring interval.

Possible values: week, month
Min length: 1
interval_count
requiredinteger
The number of recurring interval_units between originations. The recurring interval (before holiday adjustment) is calculated by multiplying interval_unit and interval_count. For example, to schedule a recurring transfer which originates once every two weeks, set interval_unit = week and interval_count = 2.
interval_execution_day
requiredinteger
The day of the interval on which to schedule the transfer.
If the interval_unit is week, interval_execution_day should be an integer from 1 (Monday) to 5 (Friday).
If the interval_unit is month, interval_execution_day should be an integer indicating which day of the month to make the transfer on. Integers from 1 to 28 can be used to make a transfer on that day of the month. Negative integers from -1 to -5 can be used to make a transfer relative to the end of the month. To make a transfer on the last day of the month, use -1; to make the transfer on the second-to-last day, use -2, and so on.
The transfer will be originated on the next available banking day if the designated day is a non banking day.
start_date
requiredstring
A date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). The recurring transfer will begin on the first interval_execution_day on or after the start_date.
For rtp recurring transfers, start_date must be in the future. Otherwise, if the first interval_execution_day on or after the start date is also the same day that /transfer/recurring/create was called, the bank may make the first payment on that day, but it is not guaranteed to do so.

Format: date
end_date
string
A date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). The recurring transfer will end on the last interval_execution_day on or before the end_date.

MIGRATED_ACCOUNT_ITEM - Item created via /transfer/migrate_account endpoint, limited information available.
ERROR – Unable to collect the account information due to an unspecified error.
The following codes indicate that the authorization decision was declined:
NSF – Transaction likely to result in a return due to insufficient funds.

If the interval_unit is week, interval_execution_day should be an integer from 1 (Monday) to 5 (Friday).
If the interval_unit is month, interval_execution_day should be an integer indicating which day of the month to make the transfer on. Integers from 1 to 28 can be used to make a transfer on that day of the month. Negative integers from -1 to -5 can be used to make a transfer relative to the end of the month. To make a transfer on the last day of the month, use -1; to make the transfer on the second-to-last day, use -2, and so on.
The transfer will be originated on the next available banking day if the designated day is a non banking day.

recurring_transfer_id
string
Plaid’s unique identifier for a recurring transfer.
authorization_decision
string
A decision regarding the proposed transfer.
approved – The proposed transfer has received the end user's consent and has been approved for processing by Plaid. The decision_rationale field is set if Plaid was unable to fetch the account information. You may proceed with the transfer, but further review is recommended. Refer to the code field in the decision_rationale object for details.
declined – Plaid reviewed the proposed transfer and declined processing. Refer to the code field in the decision_rationale object for details.
user_action_required – An action is required before Plaid can assess the transfer risk and make a decision. The most common scenario is to update authentication for an Item. To complete the required action, initialize Link by setting transfer.authorization_id in the request of /link/token/create. After Link flow is completed, you may re-attempt the authorization request.

Possible values: approved, declined, user_action_required
authorization_decision_rationale_code
string
A code representing the rationale for approving or declining the proposed transfer.
If the rationale_code is null, the transfer passed the authorization check.
Any non-null value for an approved transfer indicates that the the authorization check could not be run and that you should perform your own risk assessment on the transfer. The code will indicate why the check could not be run. Possible values for an approved transfer are:
MANUALLY_VERIFIED_ITEM – Item created via a manual entry flow (i.e. Same Day Micro-deposit, Instant Micro-deposit, Database Insights, or Database Match), limited information available.
ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED – Unable to collect the account information due to Item staleness. Can be resolved by using Link and setting transfer.authorization_id in the request to /link/token/create.
MIGRATED_ACCOUNT_ITEM - Item created via /transfer/migrate_account endpoint, limited information available.
ERROR – Unable to collect the account information due to an unspecified error.
The following codes indicate that the authorization decision was declined:
NSF – Transaction likely to result in a return due to insufficient funds.
RISK - Transaction is high-risk.
TRANSFER_LIMIT_REACHED - One or several transfer limits are reached, e.g. monthly transfer limit. Check the accompanying description field to understand which limit has been reached.

Possible values: NSF, RISK, TRANSFER_LIMIT_REACHED, MANUALLY_VERIFIED_ITEM, ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED, PAYMENT_PROFILE_LOGIN_REQUIRED, ERROR, MIGRATED_ACCOUNT_ITEM, null
