Capabilities

Capabilities determine the actions an account can perform. We require different data and verification requirements depending on the capability and whether the Moov account is an individual or a business.

You must request a capability and Moov will perform the necessary verification checks (if any) and provide a status of enabled, pending, or disabled.

tip
You can request multiple capabilities at the same time. Depending on your use case, it may make sense to request all capabilities an account will need once you’ve created the account.

Transfers

If you’re adding a Moov account, chances are you want that account to be able to participate in transfers, like receiving a payment. If you request the transfers capability, Moov will automatically enable the capability once you provide the following information:
