# Create funding account

`POST /funding-recipients/{recipientId}/funding-accounts`

Use this method to create a funding account and add it to a funding recipient.  

To add a funding account to a funding recipient, you need the recipientId. Our gateway returned the recipientId in the response of the [Create Funding Recipient](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/create) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the recipientId, use our [List Funding Recipients](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/list) method to search for the funding recipient.  

In the request, include the following information:  
-	Account type, for example, if the account is a checking or savings account.  
-	Account holder's name.  
-	ACH information, including the routing number and account number of the account.  

Our gateway returns the fundingAccountId, which you can use to run follow-on actions.
