Verification statuses

The bank account verification lifecycle is really simple and consists of the following stages:

Status	Description	Recommended action
`pending`	The bank account verification has been initiated.	Wait for the `status` to change.
`inconclusive`	Verification could not be completed (e.g., the file was too small or the image was too blurry). For more details, refer to the status codes section below.	Request a new file from your user, then initiate a new bank account verification.
`approved`	The bank account details has been successfully verified.	Proceed with accepting the request that required a bank account details verification.
`declined`	The bank account verification failed due to certain issues. For more details, refer to the status codes section below.	Reject the request that required a bank account verification. If needed, initiate a new bank account verification.

Status codes

If the verification is inconclusive or declined, the status codes can help diagnose the issue. A verification may include multiple reason codes.

STATUS: inconclusive

ℹ️
Unlike declined or approved statuses, an inconclusive verification does not incur a charge to the client.
