Information

 
Answer

In the Tango API, you can find both account identifiers and customer identifiers under Accounts.

  • accountIdentifier is the unique account ID that tells the Tango API exactly which account you are transacting from. It matches the Account Identifier field in the Tango portal.

  • customerIdentifier is the unique ID for the customer (also known as group) in the Tango API. It specifies which customer or group contains the account you are working with. The customer identifier in the API matches the Group Identifier field in the Tango portal. 

     

    Note:
     
    Tango API will soon rename “Customers” to “Groups” in its endpoints.

     

Find account identifiers in the Tango portal

The Account identifier appears under Account details in the Tango portal. This value may be different from the Account Number shown on the same page. When making API calls, be sure to use the account identifier, not the account number. You can obtain the account identifier either by viewing it in the portal or by retrieving it through the API.  Learn more about Account identifiers in API.
