# Retrieve Creditor Details
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/payment-initiation-api/documentation/use-cases/retrieve-creditor-details/index.md

The Retrieve Creditor Details process allows a Debtor Agent to fetch registered Creditor information from Commercial Direct Payments (CDP).  

The Debtor Agent submits a request using the Creditor profile identifier. CDP validates that the identifier exists in its directory and then returns the corresponding Creditor details in the response.  

The response includes the following Creditor details:

* Creditor profile ID
* Business name
* Address
* Status
* Accepted payment methods  

Retrieving these details helps ensure that payment instructions are sent to the correct Creditor.
