Close a bank account

This guide will show you how to close a bank account via the API. It covers all types of bank accounts.

Commission

Commission is an incentive that Griffin pays to you based on the balances that your customers hold with Griffin. We pay this to our customers to give a share of the value that we earn on deposits held, and to incentivise our customers to grow their deposit base with us. Commission behaves a lot like interest except that commission is not paid to the owner of the account, but to the Griffin customer that controls the account.

Interest

Interest is money that you earn on your funds that you hold with Griffin. It is based on the amount of money you hold with us and the interest rate on the account that holds the funds.

Manage pooled account members

Pooled safeguarding or client money accounts are used to hold money on behalf of multiple customers, also known as members of the pool. You are responsible for making sure membership of the pooled account is accurate and up-to-date.

Opening a bank account

Opening a bank account has been simplified with the use of bank products. Rather than specify all of the specific attributes when opening a bank account, we now only need to know which bank product the account relates to, and information about the owners, controllers, and beneficiaries related to the bank account.

Withdrawal schedules and outages

Typically outward instant payments are sent immediately after they have been submitted, and received in the creditor's account shortly after that. Withdrawal schedules and regular outage periods introduce a delay between payment submission and the payment being sent.

Your primary account

Your primary account is your first bank account with Griffin. It is opened automatically when we set up your organization, and will stay open for as long as you're a Griffin customer. It is the basis of your banking relationship with us and has some unique features, in addition to acting as a standard operational account.
