Creating an account for an entity means submitting company information and company documents for KYB, as well as beneficiaries and details about them for KYC. This is a regulatory obligation.

​
1. Accept the Bridge Terms of Service

The following endpoint should be used to obtain a Terms of Service acceptance link. Integrators should then display this link to the end user, who must click it to accept the Bridge Terms of Service:

Accept the Bridge Terms of Service
The user must accept the Bridge Terms of Service before creating the user account. Note that the returned ToS agreement ID will be used in the next step to create the entity account.
Please refer to Account Creation for more details about the Bridge ToS.

2. Create the entity account

The creation of the entity account is done by calling this API endpoint:

Create an entity

 The following information needs to be provided:
  • Company details
  • Personal data about every ultimate beneficial owner (UBO)/representative of the company
  • Company documents
  • (Optional) A list of authenticators to register a beneficiary’s passkey to their device
The entity will receive an account_id and an entity_id. Every beneficiary/representative of the entity will have a user_id.
When creating an entity, the user creating it must add themselves as one of the beneficiaries/representatives.Please refer to the related endpoint page for more details about the requirements.

3. KYB verification

Byzantine and Bridge will verify the entity’s existence, ownership structure, and the identities of all UBOs and representatives of the company. Both Bridge and Byzantine may ask for additional details during this process. Once completed, the root user will receive an email notifying them of their entity’s account opening.
This process usually takes 24-48 hours.
