GB bank account payout method payments eligibility no longer waits on Confirmation of Payee
Introduced 2026-09-30 · score 0.95
HOW TO USE IT
When handling a GB bank account payout method on API version `2026-09-30.preview`, treat `usage_status.payments: eligible` as payment eligible and stop waiting for `confirmation_of_payee` or an Outbound Setup Intent `requires_action`.
WHY THIS HELPS
Update GB bank account payout handling that waits for payment eligibility or Outbound Setup Intent completion.
BEFORE THIS CHANGE
Previously, GB bank account payout methods reported `usage_status.payments = requires_action` with a `confirmation_of_payee` next action, and their Outbound Setup Intents resolved to `requires_action`.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: 2026-09-30.preview
- usage_status.payments: Payment eligibility status; the object page documents `usage_status` as indicating requirements for outbound money movement. The versioned change specifies that GB bank accounts report `eligible` from `2026-09-30.preview`.
- usage_status.transfers: Transfer eligibility status; unchanged by this change.
- Confirmation of Payee may still be required before the payout method can be used to receive payouts.
- `usage_status.transfers` is unchanged.
