*Smart matching
The counterparty_id and statement_descriptor fields are unique in how they are used for matching:

Counterparty: we retrieve the counterparty’s bank account details such as account name, account number, and routing number. Depending on the payment type, we perform “fuzzy” matching or “contains” matching against originator and beneficiary names found in the transaction and its metadata. Routing numbers use an exact match against the sender or receiver routing number.

Statement descriptor: depending on the payment type, we perform a “contains” match of the information specified in the Expected Payment against the full line items, OBI field, or memo field of a transaction and its metadata.
