Originator name and description on counterparty deposits​

A deposit into a counterparty's account now tells you who sent it and what they called it, straight from the originating bank. Both fields come across the rail unmodified — on ACH the description is the company entry description, so expect a reference code as often as prose — and both are null when the rail carried neither.

CounterpartyIncomingPayment​

Two fields are added to the included payload:

FieldDescription
originatorNameWho sent the payment, as the originating bank named them
descriptionThe description the originating bank stamped on the payment

CounterpartyTransactionCreated / CounterpartyTransactionUpdated and the transactions list​

GET /api/v1/counterparties/{counterpartyId}/transactions and the two transaction webhook topics gain originatorName, carrying the same value for the matching Deposit. It is null on every movement that is not a deposit.

description on a Deposit is now the originating bank's description rather than a generated summary of the rail. Deposits recorded before this release keep their generated description and report originatorName as null; nothing is backfilled.
