If you are using onboarding v4, see which values you can use for industry codes and source of funds when creating business lines.
Industry codes list
As a financial institution, Adyen has a legal obligation to collect information about the line of business from your users. This is done by capturing industry codes. You are required to provide industry codes for your users when requesting business accounts.
These codes can represent the industry in which the user is registered based on their local registry (for example, chamber of commerce or secretary of state).
To submit this information to Adyen, make a POST /businessLines request. Select the industry code that most accurately represents the business activity of the user.
For some industries, Adyen requires approval before onboarding users. In this case, contact your Adyen Account Manager, Implementation Manager, or Support Team for further guidance.
After collecting industry codes, Adyen also makes this data available for you, in case you want to gain insights on your users.
Industry codes have been mapped to merchant category codes (MCCs) and adapted based on our internal regulations. We only accept the following values listed below for industry codes.
Source of funds list
Only applicable for business accounts and card issuing.
Adyen is required to verify the source of funds (SOF) used to fund an account. This requirement is applicable for both card issuing and business accounts.
Depending on the type of funds, we may request additional documents as proof. We strongly recommend that you have these documents available before starting in order to speed up this process.
To submit this information to Adyen, make a POST /businessLines request, specifying the service
as either:
- banking for business accounts
- issuing for card issuing
If the source of funds was processed through Adyen, set the sourceOfFunds.adyenProcessedFunds
to true. If the source of funds was not processed through Adyen, set the sourceOfFunds.adyenProcessedFunds
to false. You must then include the sourceOfFunds.type
and sourceOfFunds.description
. The description must state the origin of the source of funds.
The following table shows the accepted funding sources and the required documents for each type, if requested. If the type of accepted document has a listed date requirement, the document must meet this requirement.
