Data Privacy Controls

Control what data you receive based on your desired interfaces to eliminate the need to handle and store potentially sensitive information.

Select fields in the Modern Treasury API contain sensitive information, such as bank account numbers (account_number). Modern Treasury provides a setting on the Organization Settings page that controls whether these fields appear in API responses and webhook event bodies.

When the setting is enabled, sensitive fields do not appear in API responses, webhook event bodies, and data warehouse integrations. Modern Treasury encourages customers to enable the setting unless it is necessary to ingest particular sensitive fields described below. Please be careful when changing the setting, as it can affect your integration or security posture.

The following fields are impacted by this setting. Bank account numbers are the primary concern, and they are nested in many objects. A new field, account_number_safe, which contains the last four digits of the bank account number, has been introduced for use in workflows. Other fields redacted are passed along from banking partners and may contain sensitive information.
