fees is replaced by feeCredits and feeDebits.status is replaced by the statusInfo object.url, previously in the type object, is now only in statusInfo.🧹 On February 5, 2026, the deprecated status field will be removed from the CapitalDepositCase object. Use the statusInfo field (introduced October 23, 2025) instead.

📅 Set card spending limits based on calendar periods (resetting monthly on the 1st, weekly on Monday, or daily at midnight) instead of rolling periods. Calendar-based limits make it easier for finance teams to control budgets by calendar month, week, or day. Configure calendar limits using the new mode field in SpendingLimitInput with options for daily, weekly, or monthly calendar recurrence.

📩 Following an incident during activation of the new white-labelled email notifications announced on December 4, we rolled back to the previous account opening notifications within an hour. The December 18 breaking change for account membership invitations is also postponed.
We plan to activate all new white-labelled notifications in January 2026 with two weeks' notice. You'll be able to test them in Production Sandbox beforehand.

🛡️ Starting December 18, we're introducing stricter input validation for several mutations to improve security and error handling. The following fields now enforce specific formats, returning a ValidationRejection for invalid values:
| Mutation | Field | Required format |

✅ The beneficiary name field in the verifyBeneficiary mutation now enforces a maximum length of 70 characters for SEPA beneficiaries and Swan accounts. This matches the maximum length supported for SEPA Credit Transfer initiations, preventing rejections during the payment flow.
💳 Recurring SingleUseVirtualCard instances now remain active when their cardholder's account membership is disabled. When that happens, the card automatically reassigns to the account's legal representative, ensuring uninterrupted recurring expenses.
📝 Starting December 1, Swan Support will no longer manually register SEPA Direct Debit B2B mandates. You can now:
🧹 Starting December 1, the deprecated companyInfoBySiren query will be removed. Company information can now be retrieved directly during onboarding creation and updates, eliminating the need for separate queries.
🧹 On February 5, 2026, the deprecated status field will be removed from the CapitalDepositCase object. Migrate to the statusInfo field, which was introduced on October 23. This provides more granular status updates, including WaitingForInitialRequirements, PendingInternalReview, and WaitingForAdditionalInformation.
We've made improvements to capital deposits to give you better visibility into case progress and more flexibility to correct information without restarting the process.
🔍 We improved granular status tracking for capital deposit cases by introducing the statusInfo field in the CapitalDepositCase object. This field provides more detailed status updates and replaces the generic WaitingForRequirements status with three clear stages:
WaitingForInitialRequirements: Shareholder verification, fund transfers, document uploads, and company onboarding are pending.PendingInternalReview: Swan is reviewing submitted information and documents.WaitingForAdditionalInformation: Swan has requested corrections or additional details.The existing status field remains available but is deprecated. We recommend migrating to statusInfo for more detailed status information, though you can adopt it at your own pace without breaking your integration. The Dashboard continues to display the status label.
💰 You can now correct shareholder deposit amounts with the updateCapitalDepositShareholderAmount mutation. Requirements:
WaitingForInitialRequirements, PendingInternalReview, or WaitingForAdditionalInformation. Also supports the deprecated WaitingForRequirements status.PendingOnboarding, WaitingForVerification, or WaitingForTransfer.Updating an amount automatically recalculates the total capital deposit.
🏬 You can now correct company details linked to capital deposits with the updateCapitalDepositCompany mutation. This lets you update the company name and postal address. Requirements:
WaitingForInitialRequirements, PendingInternalReview, or WaitingForAdditionalInformation. Also supports the deprecated WaitingForRequirements status.Finalized.Updates sync automatically across both the capital deposit case and the associated account holder.
📄 Account statements now feature a more refined structure, clearer field names, and precise status tracking.
Voided status: We've added the Voided status to mark incorrect statements. When a statement is voided, a corrected version automatically regenerates with identical characteristics (format, language, dates). The statusInfo object reflects this new status.fees field is now split into feeCredits (sum of credit fee transactions) and feeDebits (sum of debit fee transactions).type field is now renamed to format.AccountStatement.Voided now triggers when a statement is marked asVoided.🧹 On December 1, the deprecated totalCapitalDepositAmount field will be removed from the CreateCapitalDepositCaseInput object. Instead, specify each shareholder's deposit amount in the individualShareholders and companyShareholders arrays. Swan automatically calculates the total. The calculated total remains available in the CapitalDepositCase response.

🔍 Starting November 12:
onboarding(id: ID!) query may return null when no onboarding exists for the given ID, instead of always returning an Onboarding object.verificationFlow from the OnboardingInfo object.redirectUrl from both the Onboarding and OnboardingInfo objects. It has been replaced by the oauthRedirectParameters object.title from the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) object. It has been replaced by the gender field.onboardingState from the OnboardingInfo object.💸 On October 19, we will introduce the following updates to the initiateCreditTransfers endpoint to improve its usability and clarity:

This is to comply with CRS (Common Reporting Standard) regulations.
🏦 With Multiple Accounts, company account holders can create additional accounts without repeating onboarding or Know Your Business (KYB) processes.
🚚 We've added LaPosteTracked as a new shipping method for international card deliveries. This gives cardholders outside of France a reliable way to track their card's delivery from our printing hub.
📄 We've made it easier to reconcile payments by allowing you to use structured and unstructured formats for invoice references in transactions. For SEPA Credit Transfers, use the labelType field to choose the reference standard and the label field for the value. When you retrieve transaction data, this value will be in the transaction.label. You can also specify the ogmVcs type for Belgian OGM VCS references.
⚠️ The following updates are currently available in our Sandbox environment and will be released to the Live environment on October 9.

📡 On October 9, the verifyBeneficiary mutation will be available to verify beneficiary details before initiating credit transfers. Use the save parameter to add a trusted beneficiary when the returned token successfully initiates the credit transfer.

🛑 Starting October 9, the initiateCreditTransfers mutation will return a new rejection reason if the BeneficiaryVerificationToken was already used to initiate another credit transfer.

🛒 Improvements to merchant profiles and merchant payment methods, and the requestMerchantProfile and requestMerchantProfileUpdate mutations:
The Testing APIs simulateMerchantProfileRequestOutcome and simulateMerchantPaymentMethodRequestOutcome mutations now support the new WaitingForInformation status and return a list of verificationRequirements.
A new optional field expectedMerchantProfileAdditionalInformation is now available at the projectInfo level. This field allows you to customize information collected for merchant profiles when configured as part of your merchant feature approval process.
The information can then be provided using the additionalInformation field in merchant profiles and in the requestMerchantProfile and requestMerchantProfileUpdate mutations.
The invoiceExample field has been deprecated.
The expectedMonthlyPaymentVolume, merchantWebsite, socialNetwork, supportWebsite, and termsAndConditions fields are being deprecated.
We've deprecated the rejectReasons field and replaced it with rejectionReasons.
