Customer Verification
These articles will walk through the identity verification process for verified Customers within the Dwolla API. For more information on going live with the Dwolla API, please contact sales.
A Customer represents an individual or business that intends to send or receive funds on your platform. In any transaction at least one party—either the sender or the recipient—must complete the identity verification process as outlined in this article. In cases where a Customer is only sending funds to or receiving funds from your full Dwolla account, the Customer is not required to complete the process set out below.
First, you should have an active webhook subscription. This active webhook subscription allows information about a Customer’s status in the verification process to be sent asynchronously to your application.
