# List Banks

> Returns all supported banks and their configuration - no auth required

Use the `code` key (e.g. `cbe`, `telebirr`) as the `bank` field in verify requests.

The `requires_account_number` flag tells you whether to collect your receiving account from the customer. See the [bank-specific guides](/guides/cbe) for details on each provider.
