What this product does
A BOB virtual deposit account is a fixed receiving destination bound to one CBPay account. Your payer sends a normal bank transfer in bolivianos to that destination; CBPay detects the credit, reconciles the reported account and credits your account through the normal payin flow. The account is receive-only. It is not a wallet, it does not create a payment session and your payer does not need to include an announcement reference.1. Confirm the corridor
Always use the live catalog before enabling a payment option in your application:2. Create or repair the receiving account
Accounts normally receive their default BOB deposit instrument during account provisioning. This endpoint is also available when an existing account needs to repair a missing instrument:201:
instrument with the payer as the receiving account number. The
instrument_id is CBPay’s stable identifier; do not replace the receiving
number with the UUID.
There is one active deposit account per account/country/currency/method. A
second create does not create another destination. A missing or ambiguous
provider response remains visible for reconciliation instead of being
silently retried.
3. List the account’s instruments
The list is paginated and hides provisioning claims that do not yet have a real receiving number:4. Receive and reconcile a transfer
There is noPOST /v1/payins announcement for this mode. The payer sends
BOB to the account shown in instrument. The rail is polled using a bounded
date window; completed credits are deduplicated by the bank transaction
reference, ACH order or a deterministic fallback key.
When the credit is matched, subscribe to payin_credited and use the payin
resource for the final amount and status:
BOB payouts
BOB payouts continue to use the provider-agnostic payout contract:States and recovery
Never create a second account after a timeout without first reading the list.
The provider may have accepted the first request even when the response was
lost.

FAQ
Can I use the same account for several CBPay accounts?
Can I use the same account for several CBPay accounts?
No. The destination is bound to one CBPay account and one organization. Share
only the instrument returned for that account.
Does the payer need a CBPay account?
Does the payer need a CBPay account?
No. The payer uses their own bank’s transfer flow. CBPay only needs the
receiving account to be active and the bank to report the credit.
Can I delete or rotate the account?
Can I delete or rotate the account?
No. The instrument is immutable for its corridor. If the provider reports a
problem, contact operations instead of creating a replacement blindly.
How quickly is a transfer credited?
How quickly is a transfer credited?
The rail is polled. The final timing depends on when the bank posts the
movement; the webhook is emitted after reconciliation, not when the payer
submits the transfer.
