Update Identity

POST/accounts/:id/identity

Update Account Identity

Body Parameters
identity_type
string
required
means of identification
identity_value
string
required
the number or pin associated with an identity type(NIN, BVN, etc)
Note
We currently support the provision of the user’s BVN as a means of identity verification. Also, note that BVN verification is asynchronous so you’ll need to listen for the webhook to know when a user’s account is verified or not.

Test Values

Case Value Description
