Complete verification for a bank account by submitting the two micro-deposit amounts that were sent to it.

Example Response

You have a maximum of 3 attempts to submit the correct amounts. Each incorrect submission increments verificationAttempts. If all 3 attempts are exhausted, the account status permanently transitions to unverified and can no longer be verified. You will need to delete it and link a new account.
Submit amounts in dollars, not cents. For example, use "0.05" — not "5". Submitting amounts in cents is a common mistake that will count as a failed attempt.
You can only call this endpoint after microDepositsCompletedAt is non-null on the account, which indicates that the deposits have arrived. Check the account status using GET /v1/bank-accounts/ before attempting verification.
