# Overview
The Funds Confirmation resource is used by an CBPII to request to confirm funds are available.
This resource description should be read in conjunction with a compatible Confirmation of Funds API Profile.
# Endpoints
| Resource | HTTP Operation | Endpoint | Mandatory ? | Scope | Grant Type | Message Signing | Idempotency Key | Request Object | Response Object |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| funds-confirmation | POST | POST /funds-confirmations | Mandatory | fundsconfirmations | Authorization Code | No | No | OBFundsConfirmation1 | OBFundsConfirmationResponse1 |
# POST /funds-confirmations
If the CBPII would like to confirm funds with the ASPSP, it should create a new funds-confirmation resource, and check the funds available flag in the response.
- The ASPSP creates the funds-confirmation resource and responds with a unique FundsConfirmationId to refer to the resource, and a flag confirming if funds are available.
- The CBPII must use a token issued via an authorization code grant and specify the ConsentId in the request payload.
- This CBPII must use a currency of the account.
# Data Model
This data dictionary section gives the detail on the payload content.

Notes:
- Funds can only be confirmed against the currency of the account, ASPSP must reject the request when Amount is in a different currency than the currency of the underlying account.
