Create a fiat deposit account

A deposit account gives a wallet a dedicated set of bank details. Creating one requires a verified entity on the wallet — see setup.

Use the create method from the depositAccounts.fiat resource on wallets().

import {PrivyClient} from '@privy-io/node';

const privy = new PrivyClient({
  appId: process.env.PRIVY_APP_ID!,
  appSecret: process.env.PRIVY_APP_SECRET!
});

const {fiat_deposit_account: account} = await privy
  .wallets()
  .depositAccounts.fiat.create('<wallet-id>', {
    provider: 'bridge',
    environment: 'sandbox',
    source: {currency: 'usd'},
    destination: {asset: 'usdc', chain: 'tempo'}
  });

// account.deposit_instructions holds the bank details to display

Display deposit_instructions to the user so they can send a transfer from their bank. No memo or reference code is required — the account is dedicated to this wallet.
