DASHBOARD
Transfer Tracking Made Easy
Previously, to view the details of a transfer, clients had to look at each individual leg of that transfer separately. Since transfers typically involve the Dwolla digital wallet and at least one external bank account, clients were required to click back and forth between several Transfer Detail pages to identify payment issues and the current location of the funds. Now, with the Funds Flow Overview page, clients can see the details about every leg of a transfer at a glance on a single page.
This consolidated view makes it easier to identify issues or delays in transfers and understand the current status of the funds involved. By viewing each leg of the transfer, clients can easily see the Transfer ID, Amount, Status and Dates. If a leg failed, they can also review the reason.
Improved Funding Sources Section
We’ve made significant improvements to the Customer Funding Sources section of the Dwolla Dashboard! This update is designed to provide clients with a clearer, more detailed and more user-friendly view of the bank accounts their end users have added through Dwolla.
What's new?
- Enhanced Layout: We've redesigned the layout to better accommodate users with multiple bank accounts. The new list view provides a more efficient way to view and manage end users’ accounts.
- Additional Details: We've added Routing Number and Masked Account Number to each account. This information will help clients more easily identify funding sources.
- Improved Status Indicators: We've enhanced the funding source status indicators to provide more clarity on the verification status of each funding source. This will help clients quickly identify accounts that require attention, such as those awaiting micro-deposit verification.
- Additional Information: Clients can now view more details about funding sources and associated webhooks directly within this section.
