To create a Fiat payout, you must have the recipient's bank account details, including the bank code (e.g., SCANfor GBP payments, IBAN, and BIC for EUR payments) and the account number. If invalid bank details are provided, such as an incorrect bank code or account number, the payout request will be rejected.
