Create Batch Releases

Release is the act of splitting a single batch payment between multiple customer accounts in your organization. When creating releases, you are required to provide compliance information for the original senders of the funds.

Note

In contrast to other Create operations, Create Batch Releases creates multiple releases in a single API call by taking a data array.
