A static template transfer is a saved/reusable payment route that lets you generate reusable deposit instructions (like an ACH memo) that trigger a transfer automatically when funds are sent to Bridge. Your customers can continue to use the deposit instructions to send money as long as the static template remains active.

Step 1: Create a Static Template

Use the Create a transfer endpoint and set "static_template": true.
Request
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.bridge.xyz/v0/transfers' \
--header 'Api-Key: <API Key>' \
--header 'Idempotency-Key: <Unique Key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "on_behalf_of": "cust_alice",
  "source": {
    "payment_rail": "sepa",
    "currency": "eur"
  },
  "destination": {
    "payment_rail": "polygon",
    "currency": "usdc",
    "to_address": "0xdeadbeef"
  },
  "features": {
  	"static_template": true
    "allow_from_any_address": true // lets the deposit originate from any address
  }
}'
The response object will contain deposit instructions. You can share these with your customers. Every time your customers send Bridge a deposit with the message BRGEXAMPLEMEMO, we will match it to this template, and create a new transfer instance.
Response
{
  "id": "transfer_template_123",
  "state": "awaiting_funds",
  "on_behalf_of": "cust_alice",
  "source": {
    "payment_rail": "sepa",
    "currency": "eur"
  },
  "destination": {
    "payment_rail": "polygon",
    "currency": "usdc",
    "to_address": "0xdeadbeef"
  },
  // Share this with your customer
  "source_deposit_instructions": {
    "payment_rail": "sepa",

    "bic": "MODRIE22XXX",
    "account_holder_name": "Bridge Building Sp.z.o.o.",
    "bank_name": "Modulr Finance B.V.",
    "bank_address": "Strawinskylaan 4117, 1077 ZX Amsterdam, The Netherlands"
  },
 "features": {
    "static_template": true,
    "flexible_amount": true
  },
  "created_at": "2023-05-05T19:39:14.316Z",
  "updated_at": "2023-05-05T19:39:15.231Z"
}

Step 2: Customer sends funds

Each time funds match the template (e.g. via SEPA + deposit message), Bridge:
  • Creates a new Transfer instance
  • Processes the transfer automatically
  • Sends you a webhook
  • Makes it available to fetch at Get all transfers

​
Fetching static template created transfers via API

Use the template ID to list all matched transfers.
Request
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.bridge.xyz/v0/transfers?template_id=transfer_template_123' \
  --header 'Api-Key: <API Key>'
Each resulting transfer instance is represented as a unique transfer object.

Tips

  • Omit “amount” to make the template flexible (flexible_amount: true)
  • Use Update a transfer to modify template behavior (applies only to future deposits)
  • Static templates use shared deposit instructions, unlike Virtual Accounts, which are customer-specific
