@stevegraham I am getting an error with {"error":{"message":"The requested resource does not exist","code":"not_found"}} when trying to hit the endpoints to make payments

@sasili-adetunji Check the bank account id you are sending from, the bank_code, account_number, amount and authorization token that you get after Tauth redirect as well as your certificates. Otherwise it will tell you the resource doesn't exist. I got the same error, double-checked these parameters and it works.

@savavel @stevegraham Thanks. After checking the auth token, I changed the bearer token to the authorization token that I got after Tauth redirect and I got this error.
{"error":{"message":"1020: Session has timed out","code":"institution_error"}}
