# Attachment and Note Attachment

Sometimes, a payment or request needs a little extra context—like an invoice, receipt, or a photo. That’s where **attachments** come in.

You can attach `.png` or `.jpeg` images to both **Payment** and **RequestInquiry** objects, either before or after they’re created:

* Use an **Attachment** when you want to upload a file first and then link it while creating a payment or request.
* Use a **NoteAttachment** when you want to add a file to an existing object (like a sent payment or draft).

### **🧩 What's the difference?**

* **Attachment**:\
  A general file upload linked directly to the **MonetaryAccount**.\
  Endpoint:\
  `POST /user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/attachment`
* **NoteAttachment**:\
  A file added to a specific object (like a `Payment`, `RequestInquiry`, etc.) after it's been created.\
  Endpoints:
  * `/user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/payment/{paymentId}/note-attachment`
  * `/user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/request-inquiry/{requestInquiryId}/note-attachment`
  * `/user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/draft-payment/{draftPaymentId}/note-attachment`
  * `/user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/schedule-payment/{schedulePaymentId}/note-attachment`

This setup gives you flexibility—whether you're attaching a receipt during a payment, or adding an invoice afterward.
