Account Beneficiaries

Account Beneficiaries can be managed through our Account Beneficiaries APIs, which provides flexibility on the account, as it does not require beneficiaries be set up on Account creation.

!
NOTE: In the Beneficiary List the share percentage is not required to sum to 100%, but the API service does ensure that the share percentage does not exceed 100%.
