KYC/KYB Status

Learn how to check the status of a KYC or KYB evaluation.

After a KYC or KYB evaluation is submitted, you can either request the status of the submission or listen for the status of your submission via webhook.

Create Webhook for KYC/KYB Status

You can create a webhook to be notified of updates to the status of any in-process KYC or KYB evaluation. Calling this endpoint with a different URL will re-register the new URL and rotate the HMAC token.

Two specific use cases where we recommend the use of webhook updates are:

  • KYC workflows: In the case where documents need to be submitted for verification, a webhook will notify you once the document upload status changes, or an ACCEPTED or REJECTED status for the KYC evaluation is available
  • KYB workflows: All Basic KYB workflows will initially return a PENDING_REVIEW status, and a webhook will notify you once an ACCEPTED or REJECTED status is available
POST https://api.lithic.com/v1/webhooks/account_holders

Sample Request

{
  "url": "https://mywebhook.com/incoming"
}

Sample Response

{
  "data": {
    "hmac_token": "52969474-5dc5-42f7-927a-2e3b45b3d7d2"
  }
}

The webhook payload will have the following structure:

{
  "event_time": <RFC 3339 timestamp>,
  "account_token": <token>,
  "type": <type>,
  "status": <status>,
  "status_reasons": list<status_reasons>,
  "token": <token>,  
}
