Customer Data Requirements

Due to regulatory requirements, Unit clients are required to collect and provide additional information on their end customers. Accounts of customers which are still missing data by 12/15/2023 will be closed, and you will no longer be able to provide financial services to them.

Data Requirements

All end customers must fill the data requirements. While a large majority of customers have already provided that information, some have not.

There are 2 types of data that you need to collect:

  1. Required fields for all customers.
  2. Required fields for "enhanced due dilligence" customers.

Enhanced Due Dilligence Customers

  • Individuals or Sole proprietors that used a passport to apply.
  • Businesses that have an officer or a beneficial owner that used a passport to apply.

Providing Missing Customer Data

Note

Unit highly recommends that you use the white label data collector provided by Unit to minimize the engineering investment and reduce the risk of mistakes in collecting and submitting the data.

There are 2 ways in which you can provide missing customer data to Unit (and through Unit, to your partner bank).

White-Label Data Collector

Unit provides an API endpoint that will receive a customerId, and return:

  • An indication whether any data collection is required for the customer ID
  • A URL of a customizable form that can be presented to the customer in an iframe. If no data is needed for the customer, the field will not exist.

Implementation

You will need to call the API to receive a data collector URL for each customer. If the customer's missing data, a URL will be generated. The URL can be sent via email as a link or embedded into your app. If the customer is not missing any data, a URL will not be returned.

Request:

curl -X POST 'https://api.s.unit.sh/data-collection/customer/10002'
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json'
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}'
--data-raw '{
"data": {
"type": "dataCollection",
"attributes": {
"lang": "en" // for Spanish, please choose "es"
}
}
}

Sample response (data collection required):

{
"data": {
"type": "dataCollection",
"attributes": {
"isRequired": true,
"url": "http://<your_domain>/DB2Y3CNSVWMN4U6FIVWR4BZ375R2WUEM4CY32C3CYGGICFJPMWDRYF3MKXKB2TXWSWUNH63T3BTSUWDOZCUCMGMLYWSCFC33NOFJT42KS6UADGQOJOHWME2J372JEXIXMBAZU3HYYCXP324PXWUJD272EGC6G"
}
}
}

Sample response (no data collection required)

{
"data": {
"type": "dataCollection",
"attributes": {
"isRequired": false
}
}
}
