Simulate funding an internal account

Simulate receiving funds into an internal account in the sandbox environment. This is useful for testing scenarios where you need to add funds to a customer’s or platform’s internal account without going through a real bank transfer or following payment instructions. This endpoint is only for the sandbox environment and will fail for production platforms/keys.

• INTERNAL_CRYPTO: A Grid-managed crypto holding account denominated in a stablecoin such as USDC.

Status of a Grid internal account. The status determines whether the account can send or receive payments.

• PENDING: The account is under review and is being provisioned. The account cannot send or receive payments until provisioning completes.
• ACTIVE: The account is ready to send and receive payments.
• CLOSED: The account cannot send or receive payments. A customer can initiate the closing of an internal account, after which the account transitions to this status.
• FROZEN: The account cannot send or receive payments. Grid may freeze an account in response to compliance or fraud signals; payments are blocked while the account remains frozen.

Available options: PENDING, ACTIVE, CLOSED, FROZEN
