Suggest Edits

This allows the user to generate/allocate a new virtual account number, and make it active for transacting.

For this endpoint, the "app" and "user" used for creating the virtual account respectively come from the auth_handle and user_handle specified in the "header" object of the request body. The specified user must have passed full KYC in order to open a virtual account.
