Recurring Transfers

Create a SEPA recurring transfer

OAuth scope: payment.write

This operation requires Strong Customer Authentication.

Example of SCA usage: Postman visual flow

Creates a new SEPA recurring transfer for a beneficiary. You can either provide a beneficiary_id for a known beneficiary or beneficiary data which will create an untrusted beneficiary on the fly.

Note:

if a beneficiary with the same IBAN already exists, the provided details (such as name) will be updated;
this endpoint is not trusting the beneficiary - you can trust a beneficiary through the Qonto app (for more details, please refer to this article) or through this endpoint (available for Embed partners only).

The subsequent transfer will be executed according to the specified frequency between the first and last execution dates. If no last execution date is provided the transfer will be executed indefinitely.

For recurring transfers above 30,000 EUR, at least one attachment is required.
