POST /v1/profiles

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.

DELETE /v3/profiles/{{profileId}}/trusted-verification

This endpoint allows partners to remove the verification that was given to the profile through them creating the profile. This does not delete a profile nor archive it, it simply removes the trusted verification from that partner.

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

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.
