Business Owner verification with shared information

Last updated: October 15, 2025

When onboarding merchants, multiple owners may be registered with overlap to the available ownership designations:

  • is_beneficial_owner

  • is_director

  • is_account_owner

  • is_share_holder

  • is_significant_control_person

Multiple owners may provide the same contact information (such as phone numbers) without automatic rejection. This could occur in cases where an office line is used as the primary contact number, or if a business address is used for the owner.

Usage

When onboarding merchants:

  1. You can register multiple owners with overlap of ownership roles

  2. Multiple owners may share the same information such as phone number

  3. The underlying information of each owner will be verified independently

  4. Applications are evaluated based on the ability to verify the provided information rather than the number of roles assigned to owners or shared contact details
