# Creating a US Bank Account

After topping up your Sendcash balance and your api access has been[ authenticated](/authentication.md), You can create a US dollar denominated bank account to transact with by providing `recipientDetails`, `bankDetails` and `addressDetails.`

| Argument         | Schema                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| recipientDetails | <p>ownerEmail: String!</p><p>accountNumber: String</p><p> routingNumber: String</p><p> iban: String # international bank account number</p><p> destinationType: usa</p> |
| bankDetails      | <p>name: String! </p><p>city: String! </p><p>country: String! </p><p>line1: String! </p><p>line2: String</p><p>district: String! </p><p>postalCode: String!</p>         |
| addressDetails   | <p>name: String! </p><p>city: String! </p><p>country: String! </p><p>line1: String! </p><p>line2: String</p><p>district: String! </p><p>postalCode: String!</p>         |

Once you have all the required fields, you can query the api:

{% code title="createWireoutAccount.gql" %}

```bash
createWireoutAccount(
  recipientDetails: WireoutRecipientDetails!, bankDetails: WireoutAddressDetails!,
  addressDetails: WireoutAddressDetails!) {
    accountName
    accountNumber
    bankName
    destinationType
    iban
    id
    ownerEmail
    routingNumber
}
```

{% endcode %}

&#x20;If successful, a wire-out account will be created and you can perform a wire-out payment into the account. Keep the `id` field returned by the resolver handy, you'll need it to initiate and track transactions.
