Create Hold

Use the Create Hold endpoint to create a hold (reserve) on an amount of funds for a specified payment, or to create a hold on an account in general. This endpoint supports remote deposit capture (RDC).

To create a hold on a specific payment you must pass amount and pmtId. The default hold limit is 1 000 000. You can override this limit with the MXHLD program parameter.

To create a hold on an account, your program parameters (THOLD) must specify that an account hold is valid for the holdType parameter.

This endpoint does not create authorization holds on an account for card-association transactions — such holds are created automatically when an authorization request is approved.
