### Process claim payments.
A claims manager at a nationally known insurance firm issues many claim payments via ACH every year. The firm’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system needs to follow the new NACHA rule that requires deposit account information to be secure when stored electronically. The Payee Token+ API enables the firm’s ERP system to tokenize claimants’ (payees’) deposit account information to follow the new NACHA rule. The claims manager can originate the claim payments via ACH simply by rendering the claimants’ tokens to U.S. Bank to process the claim payments.
 ### Eliminate manual disbursements.
An administrator at a university manages periodic scholarship disbursements to several qualified students each semester. The university's ERP system, which is used to manage scholarship disbursements, requires sensitive ACH account information for each student to be entered manually every semester. Each student must be set up as a payee, which can take up to four business days to validate the micro deposits. In using the Payee Token+ API, the ERP system can now tokenize and validate the sensitive ACH payment account information for each student, allowing the administrator to make scholarship disbursements to several students by selecting their respective ACH tokens.
### Mitigate data storage risk.
A manager of the checkout platform for a large e-commerce company is looking for a solution to lower data risks associated with the many retail customers who store their credit card information with the company. With the Payee Token+ API, the e-commerce company can manage and reduce the data risks associated with storing customer credit card information by tokenizing and securing data at the U.S. Bank PCI-compliant enclave.

Example use cases

- Account details validation is limited to validating account numbers and respective routing numbers.
- Account details validation is an optional service. Opting in is required prior to receiving the service.
- The scope of Payee Token+ is limited to managing tokens only. Your application maintains the entity (payee) name and its respective token relationship.

Restrictions

<p>Reduce data risk on your application by tokenizing, validating and storing your payee's account details, card numbers and other sensitive information in a highly secure enclave.</p>


Payee Token+

The Payee Token+ API enables your application to tokenize and validate sensitive payee data (PII and PCI data) for various payment rails like *Zelle*®, ACH, RTP®, wires, checks and card information. With your application providing the payee details to Payee Token+, the payee data is tokenized and stored, and your application receives a payee token in return. If opting for the account validation service, the account details such as the account number and routing number are validated for authenticity prior to returning a payee token. This helps reduce the storage risk of fraudulent or erroneous payee details.


Overview

### Create a payee token.
- Create a payee token for the given sensitive account information of the payee.
- Support account information for the following payment rails:
    - ***Zelle*** – includes email address and phone number

    - Domestic wires – includes account number, routing number and corresponding bank details
    - International wires – includes IBAN, BIC / SWIFT code and intermediary bank details
    - Card information – includes 16-digit PAN number and expiry date
- Check for duplicate tokens. Returns existing token if the same account information is passed in the request.
- **Optional value-added account validation service:** Opt in to validate the authenticity of the account information such as account number and routing number of the payee before creating the respective payee token.
- Evaluate the Payee Token+ API features in a sandbox environment by adding it to a project.
