Fee collections

Fee collections describe the processing of fee amounts calculated in advance. The fee amounts can originate from fee calculations via the Investment API or from fees calculated by the client.

You can create, list and retrieve a fee collection.

→ Creating a fee collection

If you have pre-calculated the amount for a fee, you can create a fee collection as follows:

POST /fees/collections

Example request

    "account_id": "689f7566-2ca3-4007-b99d-e501be8c7783",
    "type": "SERVICE_FEE",
    "collection_amount": "12.41",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "period_start": "2022-11-01",
    "period_end": "2022-11-30"
}
