Additional fields may be present, but are -not required. - -For the merchant or mint to receive deposits through TEST, the deposit -request must thus contain a JSON object with the following fields: +number in a field "account_number" and the URI of the bank: * `type`: the string constant `"TEST"` - * `account_number`: the account number of the merchant at the bank + * `bank_uri`: the URI of the bank + * `account_number`: the number of the exchange's account at the bank (for incoming transfers) + +The account number given must be a positive 53-bit integer. +Additional fields may be present, but are not required. + +Note that a particular exchange is usually only supporting one +particular bank with the "TEST" wire format, so it is not possible for +a merchant with an account at a different bank to use "TEST" to +transfer funds across banks.
