Any ideas how gratipay intends to deal with Balanced Payments closing
down[0] ? Is this going to be an issue that must be re-addressed when they
change payments provider?

  Hey all,
 We had some issues getting Gratipay (our donation service provider at
 
https://gratipay.com/sudoroom) to work with their payment processing
 Balanced Payments to make successful payouts (transactions) to our bank
 account with IAFCU, the Internet Archive Federal Credit Union, aka the
 Internet Credit Union.
 Now, the issues should be resolved. I am waiting to see the credit appear
 in our IAFCU account records, but I got confirmation that Gratipay
 successfully transacted the payout today via Balanced Payments.
 These were the primary issues, which took substantial digging to figure out:
    1. There seem to be some federal regulations that required our credit
    union to explicitly post payments to either our savings or our checking
    account, without ambiguity. This is done by adding a suffix to our account
    number for any given transaction, i.e. add "000" to correspond to our
    savings account.
    2. However, also, when this suffix is appended to our account number,
    there must also be a matching value that corresponds to "savings" or
    "checking" called a "TRANS code". Unfortunately, gratipay did not
expose
    this value option in their interface, despite it being supported by
    Balanced Payments's API.
 We should now have the correct suffix and the correct TRANS code that
 matches to deposit gratipay payouts to our savings account at IAFCU.
 Whew.
