# Get a Payment Source

`GET /v1/payment_sources/{id}`

Get a payment source by its unique identifier.

A Payment Source represents a segregated address for incoming deposits.
In practice, this can be separate electronic bank addresses (account + routing numbers) or physical mailing addresses (lockboxes).
Payment Sources make it easy to independently manage and consolidate incoming payments and donations from different sources
which in turn makes reconciliation of money and data seamless.
Every Payment Source belongs to a specific Financial Account and can be thought of as a gateway/door for money to flow into the Financial Account.
Payment Sources are not separately ledgered which means you can't get the balance of a Payment Source separately from the Financial Account.

Payment Sources should be setup and managed through the Chariot Dashboard.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`
