Report whether you initiated an ACH transaction

After calling /processor/signal/evaluate, call /processor/signal/decision/report to report whether the transaction was initiated.

If you are using the Plaid Transfer product to create transfers, it is not necessary to use this endpoint, as Plaid already knows whether the transfer was initiated.

The payment decision from the risk assessment.

APPROVE: approve the transaction without requiring further actions from your customers. For example, use this field if you are placing a standard hold for all the approved transactions before making funds available to your customers. You should also use this field if you decide to accelerate the fund availability for your customers.

REVIEW: the transaction requires manual review

REJECT: reject the transaction

TAKE_OTHER_RISK_MEASURES: for example, placing a longer hold on funds than those approved transactions or introducing customer frictions such as step-up verification/authentication
