Addenda not working

Hi, my account was recently enabled for Addenda support and it was integrated into our code. But, the Addenda record still doesn’t show up on people’s bank statements. Here is the code being used:

What am I missing here?

My main goal is to change the text that appears on people’s bank statements from our Business name to our App name. Any help is appreciated.


var transferRequest = {
                    _links: {
                        source: { href: fundingSourceLink },
                        destination: { href: DWOLLA_FUNDING_SOURCE }
                    },
                    amount: {
                        currency: "USD",
                        value: amount,
                    },
                    achDetails: {
                        source: {
                            addenda: { values: [`AppName - ${transactionId.substring(0,3)}`] }
                        },
                        destination: {
                            addenda: { values: [`AppName - ${transactionId.substring(0,3)}`] }
                        }
                    }
                };

                const initTransfer = await dwolla.post("transfers", transferRequest);

Hi @reid , Do you have any example transfer ID I can reference where addenda details were submitted? It could very well be that the addenda information is being sent but the RDFI is not displaying it on a user’s bank statement. NACHA doesn’t enforce that this field is a required field to be displayed unfortunately.

Hi, here: e80ccb54-528e-ee11-ac71-0665a91448df

I see that the Addenda info shows on Dwolla, implying it went through correctly.

If this doesn’t change the name on the bank statement, I suppose i’ll contact support and see if there’s another way for me to do this.
