Create cardholder

post

https://production.api.axyscards.com/v2/cardholders

Creates a new cardholder. This endpoint automatically generates the cardholder's primary account, which is used to systematically segregate the cardholder's funds and process deposits to their cards.

Once the cardholder is created successfully using this endpoint, a unique cardholderId will be returned in the response, and the cardholder status will be 4 (draft). A cardholder's personal details can be edited only if it is not in a compliance state of 0 (pending), 1 (approved) or 3 (under review).

When you're ready to proceed, submit the cardholder to compliance, or submit a SumSub authentication token if your program is authorized to use this alternate compliance process.

Body Params

sumsubEnabled

boolean

enum

Defaults to 0

Sets the compliance policy to enable SumSub integration for automated KYC of the cardholder. If 1 is passed, a SumSub authentication token will be required. SumSub must be enabled for 1 to be a valid value.
The default value is 0, in which case the standard compliance process will involve submitting the cardholder for review, using the cardholderId returned in this success response.
Warning: This compliance record cannot be changed whilst the cardholder is under review or after being approved.

Allowed:

transactionLimit

integer

Sets the maximum value of any card transaction allowed for the cardholder. Can't be greater than the transactionLimit of the relevant programId. In the absence of a cardholder-level transactionLimit, the program's transactionLimit (if any) is inherited by default. This parameter is currency- and decimal-implied (e.g. a value of 1000 would represent $10.00 in a U.S. dollar-denominated card program).
Note 1: Any cards issued to the cardholder will have a default transactionLimit equal to the cardholder's transactionLimit, unless a lower transactionLimit is set for any given card.
Note 2: This parameter may be updated at any time after the cardholder is created.
