Recipients

Update a recipient

Updates the accountHolderName and/or details of an existing recipient. The recipient must belong to your account. Provide at least one field to update.

Wallet verification: wallet is required and must be a KYC-verified wallet (EVM or SVM). Unverified wallets are rejected with 403 — verify your wallet at kyc.madhousewallet.com.

Note: MW may issue a new recipient id after an update — always use the id from the response for subsequent calls.

Country format: If details.address is included in the update, details.address.country must be a valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. US, GB, DE). Updates that don’t touch the address leave the existing stored country untouched.

Compliance screening: If accountHolderName is included in the request, the new value is screened against the sanctions database. The screen uses the same name + country + address algorithm as POST /api/payouts/recipients. Country and address come from the new details.address when provided, otherwise from the existing recipient. Matches are rejected with 403 and the recipient is left unchanged.

Rate limit: 30 requests/minute.
