# Get Account by ID

`POST /getAccountById`

Use the Get Account by ID endpoint to retrieve account information using _exactly one_ of the mutually exclusive lookup keys. See <a href="doc:about-accounts#account-lookup" target="_blank">Account lookup</a> for specific instructions.

This endpoint returns customer data such as enrollment status and onboarding date as well as a list of all accounts associated with the customer. Each account entry includes `closureDate` to indicate when the account was closed. `closureDate` is populated only when the account is in status `C` (closed/canceled), `Z` (closed/canceled without refund), or `R` (charged off); it is `null` for open accounts.

To search on broader criteria, try <a href="ref:post_searchaccounts" target="_blank">Search Accounts</a>.
