POST /v2/profiles/personal-profile

Create personal user profile.

One person cannot have multiple active duplicate user profiles, creating multiple profiles with the same details will fail. When this happens, you should show an error message to the user informing them that they may have an existing Wise account. The customer should then be allowed to link to an existing Wise account.

If a customer you are creating a profile for has first or last names that exceed 30 characters (e.g. they have many middle names) then you should truncate the names at length 30 characters and submit that value.

Occupations is required for CA, IN, JP and within the US for the states AZ and NM. If you serve any of these jurisdictions we recommend submitting occupation for all customers for simplicity, however if this is an issue we can discuss alternative solutions.

Contact Details are used for customer notifications and to identify your customer if they contact Wise's Customer Support team.

This request accepts an optional field in the header, X-idempotence-uuid. This should be unique for each Profile you create. In the event that the request fails, you should use the same value again when retrying.

GET /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extension-requirements

This endpoint is deprecated. Please check the Additional Verification endpoints for providing additional verification details for a profile.
Additional Verification API

After having a profile created, in some situations we can need more specific information about it. In order to know which fields are required for a given profile, and to send the information over, we expose a few endpoints:

GET /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extension-requirements
POST /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extension-requirements

and

POST /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extensions
GET /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extensions

The GET and POST profile extension-requirements endpoints help you to figure out which fields are required to create a valid profile for different regions. You can use this data to build a dynamic user interface on top of these endpoints.

The POST and GET profile extensions endpoints allow you to send the extra profile information and retrieve it, respectively.

This format for dynamic forms is the same as the one used for recipient creation. See Recipient.Requirements

This is a step-by-step guide on how these endpoints work.

Using profile extension requirements

  1. First create a profile. See User Profiles Create (Personal) and User Profiles Create (Business)

  2. Call GET /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extension-requirements to get the list of fields you need to fill with values in the "details" section for adding information that will make a profile valid.

  3. Some fields require multiple levels of fields in the details request. This should be handled by the client based on the refreshRequirementsOnChange field. A top level field can have this field set to true, indicating that there are additional fields required depending on the selected value. To manage this you should create a request with all of the initially requested data and call the POST extension-requirements endpoint. You will be returned a response similar the previously returned data from GET extension-requirements but with additional fields.

  4. Once you have built your full profile extension details object you can add it to add information to the profile.

Building an user interface

When requesting the form data from the extension-requirements endpoint, the response defines different types of extensions that can be added. Each extension type then has multiple fields describing the form elements required to be shown to collect information from the user. Each field will have a type value, these tell you the field type that your front end needs to render to be able to collect the data. A number of field types are permitted, these are:

typeUI element
textA free text box
selectA selection box/dialog
radioA radio button choice between options
dateA text box with a date picker

Example data is also included in each field which should be shown to the user, along with a regex or min and max length constraints that should be applied as field level validations. You can optionally implement the dynamic validation using the validationAsync field, however these checks will also be done when a completed profile extension is submitted to POST /v1/profiles/{{profileId}}/extensions.

You can check the verification status of a profile using the following API. This is a profile-specific API resource which should be accessed using an access token acquired for the profile.

Response

source_currencytext

ISO 4217 currency code.

current_statusverification status code (see below)

Current verification status

maximum_entitled_amountdecimal

Maximum entitled amount that can be transferred with the user's given verification state.

Guide on how to process the API response

current_statusmaximum_entitled_amountHow to process
verifiedany valueProfile is verified. maximum_entitled_amount field can be ignored (note that some regional limits may still apply).
not_verified0Profile is not verified. Any payments from the user will be delayed by verification.
not_verified> 0Profile is not verified yet but the user is allowed to make payments up to a certain limit. Once the limit is reached, following payments might be delayed because of additional verification requirements. Please note that the limit is cumulative and not per transfer. This state might allow some users to experience the product immediately even if the verification process isn't complete yet.
Verification status codeDescription
verifiedThe profile is sufficiently verified to start making payments (note that some regional limits may still apply)
not_verifiedThe profile is currently awaiting verification or there are pending issues with the verification process

Please note that we do not expose any finer details of customer verification.
