Lead manages every core account status. You never call an endpoint to change one, and the status you read is whatever Lead has set. This page tells you what each status means and what to expect when one changes.

Statuses

​
Transitions

active and inactive move between each other. Either can move to closed. Nothing moves out of closed. Your Lead team will tell you before an account you depend on is deactivated or closed. Status changes are rare.

​
Relationship to the core balance

A core account and its core balance normally change status together. If you see them disagree, treat the balance as authoritative for whether money can move, and contact your Technical Account Manager. Account numbers keep their own status, so an account number can show active and still not transact while its account is inactive. If payments fail unexpectedly, check the core account and core balance status first.

Webhooks

Core accounts do not emit events today. Status changes are Lead-initiated and rare, so poll GET /v2/core_accounts/{id} at the cadence your use case needs. A daily refresh is enough for most programs. The Core Account Object · Core Balance Statuses · Account Number Statuses · Webhooks & Events
