Bank Onramp via USD Virtual Account

Overview

This workflow assigns a bank account number (e.g., ACH routing number) to customers for receiving repeatable fiat deposits. These deposits are automatically converted to your specified cryptocurrency and can optionally be withdrawn to a customer's destination address.

Use the POST workflows/bank-deposit-to-onchain-address endpoint endpoint to configure this workflow.

Alternatively, or in addition, you can create a EUR virtual account.

For more details on this product, see the Payin via Virtual Account Product page.

Example Scenario

Consider a US corporate treasury management system using this workflow to streamline cross-border payments:

Setup:

• CustomerID: Company's treasury account
• Input: USD bank deposits
• Output: USDC on Ethereum mainnet
• Destination: Company's multi-sig wallet address

Key Implementation Features:

• Daily refresh of bank account details before display to prevent failed transfers from expired routing numbers
• Audit logs documenting that USD-to-USDC conversions are irreversible once sent on-chain
• Real-time price monitoring to alert treasury managers of market volatility
• Strategic timing capabilities for transfers during price stability periods

Compatibility

Compatible with Hosted Onboarding and Token Share Onboarding.

Note: USD Virtual Accounts are ONLY compatible with Standard Model KYC. Reliance Model customers cannot create USD Virtual Accounts.

tip

Throughout the Bank Onramp Workflow, you will receive three webhook events:

1. FiatDeposit - to notify you when the customer has sent a fiat payment to their assigned bank account number.
2. Cryptocurrency purchase Transaction event type - to notify you when the fiat has been converted to your chosen CryptoCurrency and credited to your Noah Account.
3. Cryptocurrency withdrawal Transaction - to notify you when the funds have been withdrawn to your customer's DestinationAddress.

2. Create a Customer

Create a customer, if not already created, via the the Standard Model, in support of which the Hosted Onboarding recipe and the Token Share Onboarding recipe are provided.

3. Call the Workflow Endpoint

Call the POST workflows/bank-deposit-to-onchain-address endpoint, passing the following data:

• CustomerID: pertaining to the customer initiating the Onramp.
• Transaction Details: including the FiatCurrency, CryptoCurrency, withdrawal Network and DestinationAddress

  "Network": "PolygonTestAmoy",
  "DestinationAddress": {
    "Address": "0x370206496048f4eDbe60e3AcBD4CFEC50B2433bd"
  }
}'

Solana Devnet Example

  "Network": "SolanaDevnet",
  "DestinationAddress": {
    "Address": "ANVUJaJoVaJZELtV2AvRp7V5qPV1B84o29zAwDhPj1c2"
  }
}'

tip

For details on the USDC_TEST token above, see Sandbox Testnet Currencies.

You will receive a 200 response to indicate that the bank account number has been assigned to the customer and is prepared to accept a fiat deposit. All the newly created virtual account details are shown to you, including the account holder name, accout number, bank address, bank code, and payment method type.

{
    "AccountHolderName": "Noah LT UAB",
    "AccountNumber": "000000000000",
    "BankAddress": {
        "City": "New York",
        "Country": "US",
        "PostCode": "00000",
        "State": "NY",
        "Street": "000 Wall Street"
    },
    "BankCode": "000000000",
    "BankName": "BANKING CIRCLE USA",
    "PaymentMethodID": "Bank/Ach/USD/000000000/000000000000/000000000",
    "PaymentMethodType": "BankAch"
}

4. Receive Webhook Events

Receive the FiatDeposit Webhook

• You will receive a FiatDeposit event type when a customer performs a fiat Deposit into their assigned bank account number. See FiatDeposit Event.

Receive the Transaction Webhooks

• You will receive a Transaction event when Noah completes the fiat to Crypto exchange. See Transaction Event.
• You will receive a second Transaction event when Noah completes the Crypto Withdrawal to the customer's DestinationAddress.

5. Simulate a Fiat Deposit

In the Sandbox environment, you can simulate a fiat deposit, to trigger webhooks and transactions.

Use the PaymentMethodID retrieved from step 3 to call the POST sandbox/fiat-deposit/simulate endpoint.

curl -L 'https://api.sandbox.noah.com/v1/sandbox/fiat-deposit/simulate' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'X-Api-Key: <X-Api-Key>' \
-d '{
  "PaymentMethodID": "string",
  "FiatAmount": "10.1",
  "FiatCurrency": "USD"
}'

This triggers a FiatDeposit event, and the automated workflow will continue to the cryptocurrency purchase step.

Guardrails

Your customers may use their individually assigned Virtual Accounts for use cases that comply with the Guardrails below.

---

USD Virtual Accounts

Non-US-Resident Customers

Receive First-Party Deposits from

• The customer’s bank, fintech app, or brokerage account.

Receive Third-Party Deposits from

• Registered businesses sending USD from a domestic business account
• A family member’s bank account where the customer shares a surname
• Non-family members up to 5 000 USD — any transaction that exceeds this limit triggers an EDD review

---

US-Resident Customers

Receive First-Party Deposits from

• The customer’s bank, fintech app, or brokerage account.

Receive Third-Party Deposits from

• Registered businesses sending USD from a domestic business account

---

Limits (apply to all USD Virtual Accounts)

• Single-transaction limit: 10 000 USD — any transaction that exceeds this limit triggers an EDD review.
• Monthly aggregated limit: 20 000 USD — the transaction that pushes a customer over this volume triggers an EDD review.

---

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Process

When an EDD review is triggered, Noah’s Compliance team will request documentation according to the KYC model your business uses.

Model	Who receives the Request for Information (RFI)	Information requested
Reliance Model	Your compliance team	• Proof of Source of Funds (SoF) • Full KYC pack • Purpose of the transaction
Standard Model	Your customer (via the email address on file)	• Proof of Source of Funds (SoF) • Purpose of the transaction

Deposits requiring EDD are frozen at the FiatDeposit step until the requested information is received. Once EDD is completed, funds are unfrozen, converted to the defined cryptocurrency, and withdrawn to the customer’s DestinationAddress. If the documents are not provided within 10 days of the RFI, the transaction will be rejected and the funds automatically refunded.

Important Note

Noah reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to:

1. Request further information and/or documentation for any payment made by a third party; and
2. Amend and/or update these Guardrails from time to time.
