# Bank deposit

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `type` | string | `"BANK_DEPOSIT"` |
| `countryCode` | string | ISO alpha-3 of the destination bank |
| `accountNumber` | string | Account number, IBAN, or alias — format enforced per country |
| `accountNumberType` | string | Selects the rail on corridors that offer more than one — see below |
| `bankCode` | string | Bank, sort code, IFSC, CNAPS, or branch identifier |
| `routingNumber` | string | Secondary routing identifier (Brazil *agência*, Sri Lanka branch code) |
| `accountType` | string | `"CHECKING"` or `"SAVINGS"` |

## `accountNumberType` — alias rails

Some countries let one `BANK_DEPOSIT` carry either a conventional account number or an alias. The value changes which other fields are required.

`accountNumberType` is never required in itself — no schema marks it required, and none declares a default. It is what **selects** the rail: send it to take the alias rail, omit it and the corridor falls to its conventional one, exactly as if you had sent `BBAN`.

| Country | Values | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Czech Republic (`CZE`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` takes the 8–22-character local account plus a 4-digit `bankCode`; `IBAN` takes the 24-character `CZ…` alone |
| Denmark (`DNK`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` takes the 4–10-digit account plus the 4-digit *registreringsnummer* in `routingNumber`; `IBAN` takes the 18-character `DK…` alone |
| Hungary (`HUN`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` takes the 16–24-character account alone; `IBAN` takes the 28-character `HU…` |
| India (`IND`) | `BBAN`, `UPI` | `UPI` puts a Virtual Payment Address (`user@psp`) in `accountNumber` and drops `bankCode`/`accountType`; `BBAN` requires all three |
| Mexico (`MEX`) | `BBAN`, `DIMO` | `DIMO` sends to a 10-digit phone number and requires `bankCode`; `BBAN` takes an 18-digit CLABE alone |
| Norway (`NOR`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` takes the 11-digit account alone; `IBAN` takes the 15-character `NO…` |
| Poland (`POL`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` takes the 26-character NRB plus the 8-digit bank/branch code in `routingNumber`; `IBAN` takes the 28-character `PL…` alone |
| Sweden (`SWE`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` takes the local account plus the clearing code in `bankCode`; `IBAN` takes the 24-character `SE…` alone |
| United Kingdom (`GBR`) | `BBAN`, `IBAN` | `BBAN` requires the 8-digit account plus a sort code in `bankCode` |

> SEPA countries take an IBAN in `accountNumber` and have no `accountNumberType` — the IBAN's own country prefix is the rail.
