Bank Accounts

Bank Accounts are used to get money in and out of a Centrapay Account. Money is moved by creating "Top Up" or "Withdrawal" Funds Transfers .

Bank Accounts must be "direct debit authorized" before they can be used for a Top Up and they must be "verified" before top up funds are released. Bank Accounts do not require "direct debit authorization" or "verification" in order to perform a Withdrawal. A 4-digit code from any recent Centrapay-initiated bank transaction can be used to verify a bank account.
