As required by payment industry regulations, Adyen must verify the cardholders in your issuing integration before you can pay out their funds. <\/p>\n
During this process, Adyen verifies that your cardholders provide accurate information about their businesses. Based on the results of the verification checks, Adyen decides if a cardholder can perform any action on your issuing integration. These actions are known as \n capabilities<\/em>\n<\/a>.<\/p>\n On this page, we describe:<\/p>\n Adyen verifies cardholders before allowing them to use capabilities on your issuing integration. The following events all trigger verification checks.<\/p>\n In the design phase<\/a>, you set the default capabilities for your issuing integration. These capabilities are requested every time you onboard a new cardholder and create an account holder for them. Adyen verifies the cardholder and if they successfully complete the verification checks, they are allowed to use the capabilities.<\/p>\n If a user needs a specific capability that is not requested by default, you must request the additional capability<\/a>. In some cases, this requires more verification.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n When cardholders change their data after they are already allowed to use capabilities, Adyen verifies them again.<\/p>\n If the updated data fails verification checks, Adyen may set a verification deadline by which the cardholder needs to resolve the issues. The cardholder is allowed to continue using the capabilities while the verification deadline is active.<\/p>\n If the cardholder does not resolve the verification issues in a timely manner, their capabilities will be disallowed.<\/p>\n Note that balancePlatform.accountHolder.updated<\/a> are only triggered for capability-related changes to the account holder. Data changes to the legal entity of the account holder do not trigger webhooks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Verification deadlines are only available in v3 and v4 of the Legal Entity Management API<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For the events mentioned above that require additional verification checks, Adyen may set a deadline to give users extra time to resolve any verification issues before certain capabilities are disallowed. This allows users to correct any missing or incorrect information to complete verification checks or fulfill their contractual obligations, such as accept Terms of Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n The verification deadline is the final date by which all required information and documents must be submitted and verified by Adyen. Users are allowed to continue using the capabilities while the deadline is active.<\/p>\n The specific verification deadline varies depending on the capabilities involved. The following table outlines the standard verification deadlines for each capability.<\/p>\n\n
