Customer Account

Customer Account records hold the contact details for a customer. A customer can have several customer bank accounts, which in turn can have several Direct Debit mandate setup, payments taken or refunds setup.

{id} donates the id of the record.

All timestamps are formatted as ISO8601 with timezone information. For API calls that allow for a timestamp to be specified, we use that exact timestamp. These timestamps look something like 2014-02-27T15:05:06.123Z.For endpoints that require dates, we expect a date string of the format YYYY-MM-DD, where an example would look like 2014-02-27.
