Improvements​

We've made improvements to capital deposits to give you better visibility into case progress and more flexibility to correct information without restarting the process.

🔍 We improved granular status tracking for capital deposit cases by introducing the statusInfo field in the CapitalDepositCase object. This field provides more detailed status updates and replaces the generic WaitingForRequirements status with three clear stages:

• WaitingForInitialRequirements: Shareholder verification, fund transfers, document uploads, and company onboarding are pending.
• PendingInternalReview: Swan is reviewing submitted information and documents.
• WaitingForAdditionalInformation: Swan has requested corrections or additional details.

The existing status field remains available but is deprecated. We recommend migrating to statusInfo for more detailed status information, though you can adopt it at your own pace without breaking your integration. The Dashboard continues to display the status label.

💰 You can now correct shareholder deposit amounts with the updateCapitalDepositShareholderAmount mutation. Requirements:

• Capital deposit case status is WaitingForInitialRequirements, PendingInternalReview, or WaitingForAdditionalInformation. Also supports the deprecated WaitingForRequirements status.
• Shareholder status is PendingOnboarding, WaitingForVerification, or WaitingForTransfer.

Updating an amount automatically recalculates the total capital deposit.

🏬 You can now correct company details linked to capital deposits with the updateCapitalDepositCompany mutation. This lets you update the company name and postal address. Requirements:

• Capital deposit case status is WaitingForInitialRequirements, PendingInternalReview, or WaitingForAdditionalInformation. Also supports the deprecated WaitingForRequirements status.
• Company onboarding is Finalized.

Updates sync automatically across both the capital deposit case and the associated account holder.

📄 Account statements now feature a more refined structure, clearer field names, and precise status tracking.

• New Voided status: We've added the Voided status to mark incorrect statements. When a statement is voided, a corrected version automatically regenerates with identical characteristics (format, language, dates). The statusInfo object reflects this new status.
• Refined fee fields: The fees field is now split into feeCredits (sum of credit fee transactions) and feeDebits (sum of debit fee transactions).
• Clearer format naming: The type field is now renamed to format.
• New webhook: AccountStatement.Voided now triggers when a statement is marked asVoided.

API updates​

Upcoming breaking changes​

🧹 On December 1st, the deprecated totalCapitalDepositAmount field will be removed from the CreateCapitalDepositCaseInput object. Instead, specify each shareholder's deposit amount in the individualShareholders and companyShareholders arrays. Swan automatically calculates the total. The calculated total remains available in the CapitalDepositCase response.

⚠️ Starting January 23rd, 2026, the following fields will be removed from the accountStatement and accountStatements queries and from the generateAccountStatement mutation response:

• fees is replaced by feeCredits and feeDebits.
• status is replaced by the statusInfo object.
• The statement download url, previously in the type object, is now only in statusInfo.

Improvements​

📭 To improve data quality for physical card orders, we now use a regex to enforce better formatting of the postalCode field in physical addresses.

API updates​

Upcoming breaking changes​

🔍 Starting November 12th:

• The onboarding(id: ID!) query may return null when no onboarding exists for the given ID, instead of always returning an Onboarding object.
• The following deprecated fields will be removed:
  • verificationFlow from the OnboardingInfo object.
  • redirectUrl from both the Onboarding and OnboardingInfo objects. It has been replaced by the oauthRedirectParameters object.
  • title from the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) object. It has been replaced by the gender field.
  • onboardingState from the OnboardingInfo object.

💸 On October 19th, we will introduce the following updates to the initiateCreditTransfers endpoint to improve its usability and clarity:

• The save parameter now defaults to false.
• The mode parameter is now a required field. The default value is set to Regular.
• The isMyOwnIban and beneficiaryId input fields have been removed.
• The API now returns a ValidationRejection error instead of ForbiddenRejection when an input contains invalid data.

Updates​

⚖️ Starting October 31st, the taxIdentificationNumber will be a mandatory field at onboarding when an account holder's residency country does not match the accountCountry. This is to comply with CRS (Common Reporting Standard) regulations.

New features​

🏦 With Multiple Accounts, company account holders can create additional accounts without repeating onboarding or Know Your Business (KYB) processes.

Improvements​

🚚 We've added LaPosteTracked as a new shipping method for international card deliveries. This gives cardholders outside of France a reliable way to track their card's delivery from our printing hub.

📄 We've made it easier to reconcile payments by allowing you to use structured and unstructured formats for invoice references in transactions. For SEPA Credit Transfers, use the labelType field to choose the reference standard and the label field for the value. When you retrieve transaction data, this value will be in the transaction.label. You can also specify the ogmVcs type for Belgian OGM VCS references.

Verification of Payee (VoP) updates​

⚠️ The following updates are currently available in our Sandbox environment and will be released to the Live environment on October 9th.

💸 initiateCreditTransfers endpoint updates​

• We'll automatically verify the beneficiary's details and display the results on the consent screen for single SEPA Credit Transfers without a beneficiaryVerificationToken in the initiateCreditTransfers call.
• You can now include a beneficiaryVerificationToken when initiating a credit transfer instead of providing full beneficiary details. Account membership rights remain the same as those described in beneficiaries permissions when using tokens.
• A new beneficiaryVerificationResults field has been added to InitiateCreditTransfersSuccessPayload.

📅 scheduleStandingOrder endpoint updates​

• When calling the scheduleStandingOrder mutation, we'll automatically verify the beneficiary's details and display the results in the consent screen.
• A new beneficiaryVerificationResult field has been added to the ScheduleStandingOrderSuccessPayload.

📒 You can now retrieve the beneficiaryVerificationResult using the transaction, transactions, standingOrder, and TrustedBeneficiary queries.

VoP rollout​

📥 Starting October 5th, we'll automatically handle all incoming VoP requests from other Payment Service Providers (PSPs). Beneficiary details will be verified, and the result will be returned to the PSP before funds are transferred into a Swan account. No action is required from you.

🃏 On October 9th, company accounts will be opted out of VoP for bulk credit transfers by default, while individual accounts will be opted in. You can change the setting for bulk transfers with the updateAccountSettings mutation, once the verifyBeneficiary mutation is implemented.

📡 On October 9th, the verifyBeneficiary mutation will be available to verify beneficiary details before initiating credit transfers. Use the save parameter to add a trusted beneficiary when the returned token successfully initiates the credit transfer.

📩 On October 19th, the save parameter of the verifyBeneficiary mutation will default to false.

Upcoming breaking changes​

🛑 Starting October 9th, the initiateCreditTransfers mutation will return a new rejection reason if the BeneficiaryVerificationToken was already used to initiate another credit transfer.

✔️ Starting October 31st, the beneficiaryVerification query will be deprecated. Use the verifyBeneficiary mutation instead to ensure uninterrupted service.

  The information can then be provided using the additionalInformation field in merchant profiles and in the requestMerchantProfile and requestMerchantProfileUpdate mutations.

• The invoiceExample field has been deprecated.

• The expectedMonthlyPaymentVolume, merchantWebsite, socialNetwork, supportWebsite, and termsAndConditions fields are being deprecated.

🛒 On October 16th, the following merchant onboarding and payment methods breaking changes will take effect:
