High-Risk Industries
For Business Customer V2, high-risk review is determined by the account risk calculation. When enhanced due diligence is required, PROOF_OF_FUNDS is returned as a required company document.
The source of truth is the documents list returned by Initiate Business Account and available later through Get Business Account.
Additional and Conditional Documents
The tables above list the baseline documents for each business type and region. The Upload Company Document API accepts a wider set of document_type values than these tables — the extra types are conditional and are requested only when needed for a specific customer, either through enhanced due diligence (see above) or a Request for Information (RFI) raised during screening or compliance review. For an RFI, you are notified via the account.business.rfi webhook and/or email, and upload the requested document through the same Upload Company Document API. See Request for Information Handling (RFI).
The conditional document types and when they are typically requested:
| Document Type | Typically requested for |
|---|---|
AML_POLICY | Higher-risk or regulated businesses, to evidence the entity's AML program |
LICENSE | Entities in licensed/regulated activity (e.g. money transmission / MSB), as evidence of regulatory licensing |
ANN_REPTS (Annual Reports) | Source-of-wealth evidence under EDD, and for foundation/society-type entities |
IRS_DET_LET | US tax-exempt or charitable entities (IRS determination, tax-exemption, or charity registration letter) |
TAX_EXEMPTION | Non-US (e.g. Bermuda) tax-exempt or charitable entities |
CERT_OF_GOOD_STAND (Certificate of Good Standing) | Confirming active/compliant status, typically for entities incorporated for over one year |
CERT_OF_INCUMBENCY | Register of directors/officers, typically for Bermuda entities |
CERT_OF_INC_ORG | Certificate of incorporation and articles of organization, for specific entity/region combinations |
TRADE_NAME_REG | Entities operating under a trade name / DBA, or where there is a name discrepancy |
PROOF_OF_BUS_ADDR_DAO | Proof of address for DAOs (operating/mailing address, or the verified control person's residential address if there is no physical office) |
SUPP_DOCS (Supporting Documents) | Any supplementary material requested during review or provided proactively |
OTHER | Any document not covered by a specific type |
Upload only the documents that appear in the
documentslist withrequired: true— there is no need to pre-upload other types from the full enum.
