Trust levels

To enforce transaction limits on your customers you can use Trustlevels. Usually, based upon the the compliance level of your customer, you give them a different trust level. An example how customers could have different trustlevels could be:

  • new: a customer signs up for the first time. The transaction amount is very low.
  • regular: after a time-out period, the customer gets more freedom to create larger transactions.
  • identified: you have verified the identification of the customer and allow them to create transactions for large amounts.

You can change the trustlevel of a customer using the Portal and API: Update Customer

Business customers can only be linked with a trust level with business support, while non business customers can only have a private trust level. You can check this in the trust level details page in the Portal.

Customer entity type

The customer entity type of the trust level dictates which customers can use it.

  • All: can be used by both business and private customers
  • Private: can be used only by private customers
  • Business: can be used only by business customers

Trustlevel configuration

You can set the following properties per trustlevel

Property Required? Description
