Adds the ability to relink deactivated Financial Connections AccountsPublic preview

What’s new

You can now use the relink_options parameter when creating a Financial Connections Session to enable the reconnection of deactivated Financial Connections Accounts and, if applicable, their Tokenized Account Numbers.

Two configuration options are available:

  • Pass relink_options.authorization to relink all Financial Connections Accounts that belong to a specific Financial Connections Authorization.
  • Pass both relink_options.authorization and relink_options.account to relink a specific Financial Connections Account.

Financial Connections Account and Financial Connections Authorization resources include a status_details property. You can use the status_details.inactive.action property to determine whether a Financial Connections Account or Financial Connections Authorization can be relinked.

Completed sessions now include the relink_result property to indicate whether the user relinked the expected authorization or failed to complete the authentication flow.

When the authentication flow completes successfully:

  • The Financial Connections Authorization and its associated accounts return to an active status.
  • The Financial Connections Accounts for previously-deactivated Tokenized Account Numbers return to a transactable status.

Impact

You can now relink Financial Connections Accounts when they become deactivated due to authentication issues or account changes at the financial institution.

Learn more about Relink in the Financial Connections documentation.
