Profile Individual

Use this endpoint to create a profile for an individual on the Edge platform. Providing the customer’s BVN is mandatory to ensure they are immediately KYCed for Tier 1 account creation. Optionally, including the NIN will enable KYC for Tier 2.

Additional Information

  • To successfully create a customer profile on Edge, the customer’s BVN (Bank Verification Number) must be provided. This ensures the customer is KYCed for Tier 1 account creation.
  • Optionally, you can provide the customer’s NIN (National Identification Number) along with the BVN. Supplying both identifiers enables KYC up to Tier 2.
