Cardholder

All the APIs to manage cardholder

Register a cardholder synchronously

Use this endpoint to register your user as a cardholder on our platform. The cardholder's Identity verification is done on the fly, so the response might take about 45 seconds and you might want to increase the seconds it takes for your requests to timeout.

This endpoint is rate limited per minute which means a cardholder can only retry his KYC once every minute(register_cardholder)

Register a cardholder asynchronously (Recommended)

Use this endpoint to register your user as a cardholder on our platform. If the user passes the KYC verification we will send you a success webhook. However, we have a human-in-the-loop process where if a user fails a KYC verification we might pass it to a human being to do a manual verification just to double check that the automated KYC verification system didn't flag the user's KYC unnecessarily. In the case that a users KYC is being sent for manual review you will be sent a manual review webhook. The manual review process by our compliance team usually takes between 1 - 24hrs and after this, we will send you either the cardholder success or failure webhook verification response depending on the final decision.
