Create a child organization bank account

Beta

Add a US bank account (ACH direct debit) to one of your child organizations. Deel sends two micro-deposits to the account; confirm their amounts with the verify call to activate it. The child organization must have a US legal entity, have completed verification, and have ACH enabled. Nothing is debited until the method is set as the default.

Token scopes: organizations:write

Beta: this version requires the X-Beta: true request header and its contract may change before it is promoted to stable. It is scheduled to become stable on 2027-02-12.

Path parameters

child_idstringRequiredformat: "uuid"

Public id of the child organization, as returned in the id field of the create child organization response. It must be a direct child organization of the authenticated organization; any other id answers 403, an unknown id 404.

Headers

Idempotency-KeystringRequired<=64 characters

Unique key, per child organization, that makes the request idempotent. Replaying the same key for the same child organization returns the original response without adding a second bank account. Reusing a key for the same child organization with a different body returns 409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT.
