Create a UBO

Caution – Legacy endpoints being superseded by the hosted KYC/KYB solution

Mangopay’s hosted KYC/KYB solution is becoming mandatory for all platforms, and allows Legal Users to declare and verify all beneficial owners in the same IDV Session object.

The criteria defining beneficial owners remain the same.

In Sandbox, you can set the FirstName of the first UBO to simulate the outcome (Status) of the declaration after submission:

  • AcceptUBO for VALIDATED
  • RefusedUBO for REFUSED
  • IncompleteUBO for INCOMPLETE

See the guide for more details →
