POST /identity/match
The /identity/match
endpoint generates a match score, which indicates how well the provided identity data matches the identity information on file with the account holder's financial institution.
Fields within the balances
object will always be null when retrieved by /identity/match
. Instead, use the free /accounts/get
endpoint to request balance cached data, or /accounts/balance/get
for real-time data.
