/redeem_sila

Burns given amount of SILAUSD at the handle's blockchain address and initiates an ACH Credit transaction to a linked bank account in the equivalent monetary amount.

This is the reverse process of /issue_sila; tokens are removed from the provided wallet or virtual account, then the process of initiating an ACH Credit transaction to the linked bank account is started.

Minimum transaction amounts for this endpoint are 1 SILA in sandbox, and 1 SILA in production.

If the bank account cannot be credited (for instance, if the account has been closed), this operation will roll back and re-mint the tokens for the provided wallet or virtual account.

Requests

The request body at this endpoint is the redeem_msg JSON object.

authsignature and usersignature headers are both required for this request.

The amount field is the amount of SILA tokens to burn, which is equivalent to a dollar amount x 100, or a number of cents. For example, to credit $1 to a user's account, you would request an amount of 100.

The account_name field is the name of the handle's linked account to credit the equivalent dollar amount.

The optional descriptor field is a 100-character field used to describe the transaction on the end-user’s bank statement.

The optional business_uuid field identifies a business which has an approved "ACH name".

The optional processing_type field allows specifying either "STANDARD_ACH"to use the standard ACH schedule or "SAME_DAY_ACH" to use the same-day ACH schedule; by default, standard ACH will be used. See the ACH Processing Schedule for more details about the differences between standard ACH and same-day ACH schedules.

Note - We recently renamed the field auth_handle to app_handle. For backward compatibility, auth_handle is still valid but has been removed from our documentation.

/redeem_sila - The Unhappy Path

In sandbox: you can send an amount ending in 420 (e.g. 1420, 35420, 420) to simulate an ACH return.

📘

Descriptors

Currently only the first 10 characters of the 100-character descriptor field will appear on the customer's statement. Default values are Debit or Credit and do not carry a surcharge. The use of a descriptor will incur an additional fee per transaction.

📘

ACH

This is a 16 character field that appears on the end-user’s bank statement and reflects the company name responsible for the transaction. There is an additional application fee and process to approve the use of the company name.

KeyTypeDescription
headerJSON objectRequired. Requires these keys in JSON format: created, app_handle, user_handle. See the /check_handle endpoint for the complete list of fields in this object.
amountIntegerRequired. Min Length 1, Max digits 35 Example: 1000
Max value: 10000000
To increase, contact Sila
account_nameStringOptional. Max Length 40 Example: default.
descriptorStringOptional. Max Length 100
Example: transaction descriptor
business_uuidStringOptional. UUID of a business with an approved ACH name. The format should be a UUID string.
Example: 5167160d-9d12-4fa8-a8cd-302507782de0
processing_typeStringOptional. Choice field.
Examples: STANDARD_ACH or SAME_DAY_ACH
source_idStringOptional. Payment method ID that is the source of funds. These can be viewed using /get_payment_methods. If not provided, the wallet in the usersignature of the header will be debited
destination_idStringOptional. Payment method ID that is the destination of the funds. This can be used as an alternative to account_name
transaction_idempotency_idStringOptional. UUID to uniquely identify the transaction to make it idempotent. If transaction is submitted multiple times with the same transaction_idempotency_id it will only be processed once.

There are several valid combinations of optional parameters (account_name, source_id, destination_id) that can be used to identify the source and destination that will be used for the transaction. Below is that list:

  • account_name - for this, the destination will be the linked bank account with that account name, and the source will be the end users wallet as inferred from the user signature.
  • source_id, destination_id - for this, the source will explicitly be the payment method specified with source_id, and the destination will explicitly be the payment method specified with the destination_id.
