To make a fund transfer or payment, add the counterparty that you intend to transact with.
You can also add a counterparty using a payout link. To do that, create the link and share it with the recipient. When claiming the payout, the recipient fills in their details, which you can then save as a counterparty.
Depending on which country a counterparty account is based in, the fields that you need to specify are different.
If you are on a freelancer account, to be compliant with PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication regulations, you must manually approve the counterparty with two-factor authentication in the Revolut Business app before you can make a payment.
This can ensure maximum security in case of access token leakages and other fraudulent activities.
It is recommended to utilize all available address fields when creating a counterparty and accurately define either the individual_name
or company_name
field for individuals and companies respectively. This significantly reduces the risk of any disruption to payments made via API.
