Check out our [Libraries](🔗) and [Samples](🔗) section for the integration code hosted on GitHub.
# Step 1: Setup
Get your corresponding clientId and clientSecret from your payout dashboard and ensure that your IP is whitelisted as well. Check our development quickstart here.
**Host URL**: Use the following URL for PROD and TEST, respectively:
For the **production** environment: https://payout-api.cashfree.com For the **test** environment: https://payout-gamma.cashfree.com
# Step 2: Initialization and Authorisation
Call the authenticate API to Cashfree's system/server to obtain an Authorization Bearer token. All other API calls must have this token as Authorization header in the format 'Bearer <token>' (without quotes) for them to be processed.

# Step 3: Verify Bank Account
Verify a bank account by passing a name, phone number, bank account, and ifsc. Verification will be done on the bank account and ifsc combination.
The operation returns a success response in two cases:
The bank account or IFSC code or both are invalid.
The bank account and IFSC combination are verified.

You now have a complete bank account validation integration for payouts. When testing your integration with your test API key, you can use the details available [here](🔗) to ensure that it works correctly.
