Operations related to bank and credit union financial institutions (FIs). There are two features in this API:

  1. Calculating upcoming dates for transfer schedules, factoring in weekends, non-business days, and banking holidays as determined by the institution.
  2. Look up a financial institution by an FI locator value: either an ABA routing and transit number, an IBAN account number, or a SWIFT/BIC code.
