      - `Currency` string, required: The currency that the account is held in ([ISO 4217](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217) currency code in upper case). This value is used only when one account number covers multiple accounts for different currencies, and the initiating party needs to identify which currency to use for settlement on the account.

Note the scheme `UK.Revolut.InternalAccountId` is an internal account identifier for those accounts which don't have externally available identifiers. It cannot be used to send or receive funds.
        - `Identification` string, required: The identification of the account. :::warning[Unique account identifier] This field will typically contain an account number or an IBAN which must not be considered as a unique identifier for the account. Several currency subacounts can share this same identifier. If you need a unique identifier for each account, ensure you use the `Data.Account.AccountId` instead. :::
