Creating a Customer

Creating a customer is fairly straightforward. Simply navigate to the /api/customers POST API call and expand the entry.

When creating a new customer, there are two approaches you have to keep in mind. If you are using the Cybrid Platform for KYC, then you only need to specify the type of customer, which is individual in most cases.

Customer Creation for the Cybrid Platform KYC Method

Use the POST /api/customers endpoint to create a new customer:

Creating an Individual Customer

Individual customers can be easily added to our platform. Note that all individual customers must go through Cybrid's KYC process.

{
  "type": "individual"
}

To verify the customer exists, you can navigate to the GET /api/customers endpoint to have all customers attached to your bank returned. The response will be similar to this:

{
  "total": 0,
  "page": 0,
  "per_page": 0,
  "objects": [
    {
      "guid": "your-customer-guid",
      "bank_guid": "your-bank-guid",
      "type": "individual",
      "created_at": "2022-05-13T13:55:08.460Z",
      "state": "unverified"
    }]
}

Creating a Business Customer

Business customers can be easily added to our platform. Note that all business customers must go through Cybrid's KYB process.

{
  "type": "business"
}

To verify the customer exists, you can navigate to the GET /api/customers endpoint to have all customers attached to your bank returned. The response will be similar to this:

{
  "total": 0,
  "page": 0,
  "per_page": 0,
  "objects": [
    {
      "guid": "your-customer-guid",
      "bank_guid": "your-bank-guid",
      "type": "business",
      "created_at": "2022-05-13T13:55:08.460Z",
      "state": "unverified"
    }]
}

Customer States

Note the state of the customer will be one of the following:

• storing - Indicates the platform is still storing the customer record
• unverified - Indicates the customer has been stored, and is ready to be verified

With the customer created, we can now move on to finalizing the customer's identity verification.
