Manage legal entities

View legal entity details

After creating a legal entity, you can view the resource at any time using the Customer Area, the Legal Entity Management API, or hosted onboarding.

Change legal entity type

Users sometimes sign up with an incorrect legal entity type. To change the legal entity type to the correct one, you can:

• API-only onboarding: make a PATCH /legalEntities/{id} request to update the legal entity type and then provide additional required information.
• Hosted onboarding: let your user change their legal entity type and provide additional required information in the UI.

All verification checks are run again after the legal entity type is changed.

You can only change the type of the main legal entity. If the type of an associated legal entity is incorrect, you need to create a new legal entity.

Retained information

When you change the legal entity type, the following information is retained:

• The legal entity id
• Transfer instruments
• Bank statement details
• Proof of industry
• Processed amounts
• Business lines
