PII and IDV Documents

How can I retrieve the PII information or identity verification files?

Personally Identifiable Information

Customers PII

To access PII details of verified customers, use the partner portal or API requests.

Customers PII in the Partner Portal

To access customer PII in the partner portal, ensure the user has the "PII Read" role assigned to them. If the user lacks this permission, any team member with the "User Admin" role can add the "PII Read" role. See editing a user's roles for details.

After logging into the partner portal, select the desired Bank from the drop-down menu below the Cybrid logo. Then, click on the Customers page from the vertical menu on the left side of the screen. Look up the specific customer using their GUID and click on the GUID hyperlink. On the subsequent page, go to the Details tab in the horizontal menu and review the customer's personal information, including name, address, date of birth, phone number, and email address.

Customers PII via API request

To retrieve customer PII via API, include customers:pii:read in your token's scope and set the include_pii query parameter to true:

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/customers/customer_guid?include_pii=true

{
  // ...
  "name": {
    "first": "string",
    "middle": "string",
    "last": "string",
    "full": "string"
  },
  "address": {
    "street": "string",
    "street2": null,
    "city": "string",
    "subdivision": "string",
    "postal_code": "string",
    "country_code": "US"
  },
  "aliases": null,
  "website": null,
  "date_of_birth": "string",
  "phone_number": "string",
  "email_address": "string",
  "identification_numbers": [
    {
      "type": "drivers_license",
      "issuing_country_code": "US",
      "identification_number": "string"
    }
  ]
}

Other PIIs

To retrieve PII for other resources, include <resource>:pii:read in your token's scope and set the include_pii query parameter to true. For example:

Counterparties PII via API request

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/counterparties/counterparty_guid?include_pii=true

External Bank Accounts PII via API request

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/external_bank_accounts/external_bank_account_guid?include_pii=true

Identity Verifications PII via API request

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/identity_verifications/identity_verification_guid?include_pii=true

Files PII via API request

Unlike the other resources above, the /api/files endpoint does not have an include_pii query parameter. Instead, use include_download_url, which returns a download_url in the response body for downloading the file:

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/files/:file_guid?include_download_url=true

Identity Verification Documents

To retrieve files associated with identity verification documents (such as a driver's license used during KYC), parse and extract the file GUIDs from the identity verification (IDV) using the following API request:

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/identity_verifications/:identity_verification_guid?include_pii=true

{
  // ...
  "created_at": "datetime",
  "updated_at": "datetime",
  "type": "kyc",
  "guid": "identity_verification_guid",
  "method": "id_and_selfie",
  "customer_guid": "customer_guid",
  "state": "completed",
  // ...
  "documents": [
    {
      "guid": "document_guid",
      "type": "drivers_license",
      "validated": true,
      "expiration_date": "date",
      "files": [
        {
          "created_at": "datetime",
          "updated_at": "datetime",
          "guid": "file_guid",
          "type": "drivers_license_front",
          "filename": "drivers_license_front.jpg",
          "content_type": "image/jpeg"
        },
        {
          "created_at": "datetime",
          "updated_at": "datetime",
          "guid": "file_guid",
          "type": "drivers_license_back",
          "filename": "drivers_license_back.jpg",
          "content_type": "image/jpeg"
        }
        // ...
      ]
    },
    // ...
  ]
}
ℹ️

Token scope

Set include_pii to true and include identity_verifications:pii:read in the token scope.

Next, use the following API request to obtain a download link for the desired file:

ℹ️

API reference

GET /api/files/:file_guid?include_download_url=true

{
  "created_at": "datetime",
  "updated_at": "datetime",
  "guid": "file_guid",
  "organization_guid": "organization_guid",
  "bank_guid": "bank_guid",
  "customer_guid": "customer_guid",
  "type": "drivers_license_front",
  "state": "completed",
  "filename": "drivers_license_front.jpg",
  "content_type": "image/jpeg",
  "failure_code": null,
  "download_url": "https:/download_url",
  "download_expires_at": "datetime"
}
ℹ️

Token scope

Set include_download_url to true and include files:pii:read in the token scope.
