Adyen is a global payment technology company founded in 2006 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The company provides a single platform for accepting payments across online, mobile, and in-store channels for major enterprises worldwide including Uber, Spotify, and Microsoft.
Adyen's bank account connector processes ACH, SEPA, and BACS payments from bank accounts that Gr4vy stores. It supports two ways to get the account:
* **Plaid Link**—Customers link their bank account through Plaid, and the resulting token is used to process the payment. Adyen only processes Plaid-linked payments for ACH Direct Debit accounts.
* **Bank account details**—You provide the bank account details via the API. This flow supports ACH, SEPA, and BACS schemes. See [Bank accounts](/connections/payments/bank) for details.
**Four Adyen connectors debit a buyer's bank account.** Pick the one that matches who collects the account:
* [ACH Direct Debit](/connections/payments/adyen-ach) (redirect): the buyer enters their account and routing numbers on Adyen's page, and Adyen keeps them.
* [SEPA](/connections/payments/adyen-sepa) (redirect): the buyer enters their IBAN on Adyen's page, and Adyen keeps it.
* [Pay by Bank (redirect)](/connections/payments/adyen-paybybank): Adyen sends the buyer to Plaid to choose their bank. US only.
* [Bank account (ACH, SEPA, BACS)](/connections/payments/adyen-bank) (stored in Gr4vy): you send the bank account details or a Plaid-linked account, and Gr4vy stores the account. Use this connector to charge bank accounts that you [import](/guides/features/token-import/overview) into Gr4vy.
## Setup
Please follow the [common Adyen instructions](./adyen) to get set up with Adyen. Next, make sure to enable the relevant bank payment methods (ACH, SEPA, or BACS) on your configured Adyen account.
The following additional settings are available.
* **Force direct bank details**—When enabled, the system skips attempting to exchange a Plaid processor token with Adyen and instead fetches raw bank details (account number, routing number, IBAN, or sort code) from Plaid directly. This saves an API call per payment and is useful when you prefer to always process with raw bank details. This setting has no effect on transactions that already use the direct `bank` payment method.
## Prerequisites
To use bank payments via Adyen, you must have:
1. **Adyen bank payments enabled:** The relevant bank payment method (ACH, SEPA, or BACS) must be enabled in your Adyen account
2. **Plaid configured:** For Plaid-linked payments, set up [Plaid](./plaid-bank) in your Gr4vy dashboard to handle bank account linking
For Plaid-linked payments, the integration flow requires customers to first link their bank account through Plaid Link, then use the resulting public token to create a transaction that is processed through Adyen.
For bank account details, you submit them via the API without requiring Plaid.
## Capabilities
## Supported countries
## Supported currencies
## Billing details
Some schemes need billing details on the buyer or transaction. When a required field is missing, the transaction fails with the `missing_billing_address` error code.
* **ACH**: Include the billing address `state_code` in ISO 3166-2 format, for example `US-UT`. Gr4vy sends Adyen's state or province from `state_code` only, not from the free-text `state`. See [Billing address](/connections/payments/adyen#billing-address).
* **SEPA**: For an IBAN from a SEPA country outside the European Economic Area, such as `CH` or `GB`, include a billing address with `line1`, `house_number_or_name`, `postal_code`, `city`, and `country`.
* **BACS**: Include the buyer's billing email address.
## Limitations
### Refunds
Partial refunds are not supported for unsettled bank transactions. If you need to refund a bank transaction before it has settled, you must refund the full transaction amount. Once a transaction has settled, partial refunds become available.
### Payment methods
This connector supports bank accounts linked through Plaid (ACH, SEPA, and BACS) and bank account details submitted via the API. See [Bank accounts](/connections/payments/bank) for that flow.
## Usage
You can create bank payments via Adyen using either Plaid Link or bank account details.
### Option 1: Plaid Link
First, use Plaid Link to securely connect the customer's bank account. See the [Plaid integration guide](./plaid-bank-integration) for detailed instructions on implementing Plaid Link.
When the customer successfully links their account, you'll receive a `publicToken` and account metadata from Plaid.
Use the `publicToken` from Plaid to create a transaction that is processed through the Adyen bank connector.
```csharp C# theme={"system"}
var transaction = await client.Transactions.CreateAsync(
transactionCreate: new TransactionCreate()
{
Amount = 1299,
Currency = "USD",
Country = "US",
Intent = "capture",
// The method discriminator defaults to "plaid" and isn't set explicitly
PaymentMethod = TransactionCreatePaymentMethod.CreatePlaidPaymentMethodCreate(
new PlaidPaymentMethodCreate()
{
Token = "public-sandbox-xxxxx",
AccountId = "account-id-from-metadata"
}
),
Buyer = new GuestBuyer()
{
BillingDetails = new BillingDetails()
{
FirstName = "John",
LastName = "Doe"
}
},
PaymentServiceId = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
);
```
```go Go theme={"system"}
amount := int64(1299)
currency := "USD"
country := "US"
paymentServiceId := "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
// The method discriminator defaults to "plaid" and isn't set explicitly
plaidPaymentMethodCreate := components.PlaidPaymentMethodCreate{
Token: "public-sandbox-xxxxx",
AccountID: gr4vy.String("account-id-from-metadata"),
}

PaymentMethod: &paymentMethod,
Buyer: &components.GuestBuyer{

},
},

transaction, err := client.Transactions.Create(ctx, transactionCreate, nil, nil, nil)
```
```java Java theme={"system"}

.build())
.build())
.paymentServiceId("xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx")
.build())
.call();
Transaction transaction = transactionResponse.transaction().orElse(null);
```
```php PHP theme={"system"}
$transactionCreate = new TransactionCreate(
amount: 1299,
currency: 'USD',
country: 'US',
intent: 'capture',
// The method discriminator defaults to "plaid" and isn't set explicitly
paymentMethod: new PlaidPaymentMethodCreate(

),
buyer: new GuestBuyer(

lastName: 'Doe'
)
),
paymentServiceId: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
);
$response = self::$sdk->transactions->create($transactionCreate);
$transaction = $response->transaction;
```
```python Python theme={"system"}
transaction: models.Transaction = client.transactions.create(
amount=1299,
currency="USD",
country="US",
intent="capture",
# The method discriminator defaults to "plaid" and isn't set explicitly
payment_method=models.PlaidPaymentMethodCreate(
token="public-sandbox-xxxxx",
account_id="account-id-from-metadata"
),
buyer=models.GuestBuyer(
billing_details=models.BillingDetails(
first_name="John",
last_name="Doe"
)
),
payment_service_id="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
)
```
```ts TypeScript theme={"system"}
const transaction = await gr4vy.transactions.create({
amount: 1299,
currency: "USD",
country: "US",
intent: "capture",
paymentMethod: {
method: "plaid",
token: "public-sandbox-xxxxx",
accountId: "account-id-from-metadata"
},
buyer: {
billingDetails: {
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Doe"
}
},
paymentServiceId: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
})
```
**Key parameters:**
* `method` - Set to `plaid` to indicate a Plaid-linked bank account
* `token` - The public token received from Plaid Link
* `account_id` - Optional. The specific account ID from Plaid metadata if the customer linked multiple accounts
* `payment_service_id` - The UUID of your Adyen bank connection (found in Gr4vy dashboard)
The transaction is processed through Adyen as an ACH Direct Debit payment using the bank account details securely retrieved from Plaid.
### Option 2: Bank account details
Submit raw bank account details directly via the API. Set `method` to `bank` and `scheme` to the appropriate value (`ach`, `sepa`, or `bacs`).
The following example uses the `ach` scheme. For SEPA, replace the scheme with `sepa` and provide the IBAN as the `account_number`. For BACS, replace the scheme with `bacs` and provide the sort code as the `routing_number`.
```csharp C# theme={"system"}
var transaction = await client.Transactions.CreateAsync(
transactionCreate: new TransactionCreate()
{
Amount = 1299,
Currency = "USD",
Country = "US",
Intent = "capture",
PaymentMethod = TransactionCreatePaymentMethod.CreateACHBankPaymentMethodCreate(
new ACHBankPaymentMethodCreate()
{
AccountNumber = "1234567890",
RoutingNumber = "011000138",
AccountType = "checking",
AccountHolder = new BankAccountHolder()
{
FirstName = "John",
LastName = "Doe"
}
}
),
PaymentServiceId = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
);
```
```go Go theme={"system"}

## Testing
In a test environment, you can use Plaid's sandbox mode along with Adyen's test environment:
1. Configure Plaid with sandbox credentials
2. Use Plaid's test credentials to link a test bank account
3. Process test transactions through Adyen's sandbox
For bank account details, use Adyen's test account numbers for ACH, SEPA, or BACS as documented in Adyen's testing guides.
Refer to [Plaid's testing documentation](https://plaid.com/docs/sandbox/) for available test credentials and scenarios.
This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
