Post transaction restrictions on accounts

You can add or remove transaction restrictions using an API request. These restrictions prevent specific types of transactions from posting to your account. There are four restriction types.

How to add a transaction restriction

Submit an API request to add a transaction restriction via the POST /accounts/{id}/restrictions endpoint.

Note:

• The account must be in PENDING_OPEN, OPEN or PENDING_CLOSE state.
• Only one transaction restriction can be added per API request.
• Multiple transaction restrictions of the same type can exist, but a single restriction is sufficient to block that transaction type.
• Transaction restrictions remain in place until removed.
