The rationale for Plaid’s decision regarding a proposed transfer. It is always set for declined decisions, and may or may not be null for approved decisions.
code
required, string
A code representing the rationale for approving or declining the proposed transfer. If the rationale_code is null, the transfer passed the authorization check. Any non-null value for an approved transfer indicates that the the authorization check could not be run and that you should perform your own risk assessment on the transfer. The code will indicate why the check could not be run. Possible values for an approved transfer are: MANUALLY_VERIFIED_ITEM – Item created via a manual entry flow (i.e. Same Day Micro-deposit, Instant Micro-deposit, or database-based verification), limited information available. ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED – Unable to collect the account information due to Item staleness. Can be resolved by using Link and setting transfer.authorization_id in the request to /link/token/create.

The following codes indicate that the authorization decision was declined: NSF – Transaction likely to result in a return due to insufficient funds. RISK - Transaction is high-risk.

It is recommended to send the request 15 minutes prior to the cutoff to ensure that it will be processed in time for submission before the cutoff. If the transfer is processed after this cutoff but before the Standard ACH cutoff, it will be sent over Standard ACH rails and will not incur same-day charges. For transfers submitted using rtp, in the case that the account being credited does not support RTP, the transfer will be sent over ACH as long as an ach_class is provided in the request. If RTP isn’t supported by the account and no ach_class is provided, the transfer will fail to be submitted.
