Creating user identifiers
In order to create regulatory required transaction reports, Upvest must maintain certain identifiers per user. By default, the Investment API supports the onboarding of users for the following nationalities (as a single nationality or, in the case of multiple nationalities, the first nationality if the nationalities array is in alphabetical order):
- AT - Austria
- DE - Germany
- FR - France
- HU - Hungary
- IE - Ireland
- LU - Luxembourg
Any other user nationalities require an additional identifier.
You can add the relevant identifier, by sending
POST /users/{user_id}/identifiers
More information on the accepted user identifiers can be found here.
Next steps
After successfully creating a user on the Investment API, you can proceed with opening an account group and an account for the respective user. The accounts will only become active once the user's onboarding has been successfully completed and all regulatory checks have been passed.
