# Deprecates legacy payout type for balance transfers in the ReceivedCredit API ## What’s new The [balance_transfer](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/received-credits/object.md?api-version=2026-07-29.preview#v2_received_credit_object-balance_transfer) hash on the [ReceivedCredit](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/received-credits/object.md?api-version=2026-07-29.preview) object now uses `payout` as the type value for payout-initiated balance transfers. This change adds the `payout` enum value to [balance_transfer.type](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/received-credits/object.md?api-version=2026-07-29.preview#v2_received_credit_object-balance_transfer-type) and a corresponding [payout](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/received-credits/object.md?api-version=2026-07-29.preview#v2_received_credit_object-balance_transfer-payout) property to the `balance_transfer` hash. The legacy `payout_v1` property and enum value are deprecated. ## Impact If you previously read `balance_transfer.type` as `payout_v1`, update your code to use `payout` instead. Integrations on earlier API versions aren’t affected. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | | --- | --- | --- | | `payout` | Added |
