Account selection feature

What is it?

By default GoCardless obtains consent and fetches all accounts in a given bank. There are some use cases where some account(s) should be excluded (like joint accounts, accounts of children when evaluating someone for a loan) therefore we have added a feature that lets our clients enable a step where between both authentication layers on banks end an end user will have an option to select which accounts they want to share. 

For the most part this account selection will be handled by GoCardless while in some instances in the banks views. List of banks below.

Which institutions support it? 

To check which connections offer this functionality: 

1. List the available institutions - GET /api​/v2​/institutions​/

2. Request information about a specific institution - GET /api​/v2​/institutions​/{id}​/

3. Make sure it has account_selection listed in the supported_features array

How to use it? 

If an connection supports account selection functionality, to use it, set account_selection parameter as True, when creating a requisition.
