# BENEFICIARIES

We recommend reading the main readme first, to understand the requirements for using the library and how to initiate this in your apps. This guide assumes you've read that.

Manage transfer beneficiaries via any of these methods:
1. [Create a Beneficiary](#create-a-beneficiary)
2. [Delete a Beneficiary](#delete-a-beneficiary)
3. [Fetch a Beneficiary](#fetch-a-beneficiary)
4. [Fetch all Beneficiaries](#list-all-beneficiaries)


## Create a beneficiary

This describes how to create a transfer beneficiary

```javascript

const Flutterwave = require('flutterwave-node-v3');

const flw = new Flutterwave(process.env.FLW_PUBLIC_KEY, process.env.FLW_SECRET_KEY  );

const createBeneficiary = async () => {

    try {
        const payload = {
            "account_number": "0690000034",
            "account_bank":"044" // This is the beneficiary’s bank code, you can use the List of Banks to retrieve a bank code.
            "beneficiary_name": 'Ade Bond'
        }
        const response = await flw.Beneficiary.create(payload)
        console.log(response);
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error)
    }

}


createBeneficiary();
