2021-05-25

Changed

• The senderId was always required when creating withdrawals via createWithdrawal. But now, if you provided the subClientId and didn't provide the senderId the sub-client becomes the sender, and will be reported to the government as the sender. However, you still must provide the senderId if your sub-client moves funds for other people/companies.

2021-05-17

Changed (BREAKING)

• Replaced docIssuer, docType and docNumber fields from CreateSubClientInput with idDoc nested field instead.

2021-04-26
