Fill in other relevant information such as:

* **Label:** A short user-friendly name for this instruction set (e.g., "Client A USD Account" or "Payroll Account"). It helps the user identify this instruction quickly in lists.
* **Beneficiary Type:**  Determines whether the beneficiary is a *business entity.*
  * **Business:** A legal entity (company, corporation, LLC, nonprofit, etc.); use the company’s registered/legal name exactly as held by the bank.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Users can whitelist up to 5 bank accounts per fiat.
* Certain countries like Canada do not use IBAN. Hence, whether to use IBAN or not depends on the country selected.
  {% endhint %}

* **Bank name:** The name of the intermediary financial institution facilitating the payment (e.g., for cross-border transfers). Required only if an intermediary is involved.
* **Intermediary BIC/SWIFT code:** BIC/SWIFT code of the intermediary bank. If required for the payment route, ensures proper routing and prevents delays or rejections.
* **Account number:** Account number held at the intermediary bank for correspondent banking. If required, ensures funds are properly credited and forwarded without delays.
* **Address:** Address of the intermediary bank.

This adds the whitelisted address of the user's business to the Fiat Information with a **Pending** status. Expand the row to view this information.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}

* It is possible to enable the user's business account to only withdraw to whitelisted addresses, or a combination of freeform addresses and whitelisted addresses. If withdrawal to whitelisted addresses is selected, any address that is added will be in cooldown for 24 hours, implying that this address cannot be used for 24 hours after being added.
* Aquanow' OPS team must be notified via chat that a new bank account for the user's business has been added. Once OPS has verified and approved the user's bank account, it is successfully whitelisted.
  {% endhint %}

A previously whitelisted address of the user's business can be removed by selecting the **Delete** icon at the far right of the saved address row.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aquanow.io/aquanow/user-guide/account-management/address-management/fiat-address-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
