Changed on
<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Deprecated – Decommissioning planned for 2027**

Mangopay plans to decommission the Banking Alias endpoints in 2027.

Platforms using them should plan to re-integrate using the Virtual Account endpoints.

Existing Banking Alias objects are available via the GET View a Virtual Account endpoint by using the Banking Alias Id and WalletId as path parameters. </Warning>

<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Caution – Rely on `OwnerName` returned in response**

Since September 15, 2025, Mangopay sets the OwnerName value by default based on the criteria available here.

Your platform must rely on the API response value (also available on the GET endpoints) and ensure it is easy to see and copy for the end user in your interfaces. </Warning>

<Note icon="fa-regular fa-circle-info"> **Note - Payee confirmation in the UK**

When the user sets up the payee with their bank, Mangopay UK or Mangopay SA is displayed as the account holder name. You should communicate this to them to avoid confusion. </Note>
