v1.0.2

Release Date: 8 June 2026

This release adds the Entity Public API — full programmatic onboarding for corporate FICA applications, alongside new developer documentation and OpenAPI coverage for entity endpoints.

🚀 New Features​

Entity API (/api/v1/entity)​

End-to-end entity FICA onboarding is now available:

  • Create entity — CIPC commercial lookup, sanctions screening, and automatic UBO creation from CIPC principal data where applicable
  • Entity KYB — trading name, address, industry, transaction profile, and custom form questions
  • Sanctions review — entity-level PEP and adverse media confirmation
  • Ownership structure — two integration paths depending on entity type:
    • Organigram — build and verify a full ownership tree (entities, trusts, individuals)
    • Directors list — simplified path for entity types that do not use an organigram (e.g. close corporation–style structures)
  • UBO management — add or update directors/UBOs, PEP review per UBO, document upload and confirmation
  • Shareholding confirmation — ownership structure sign-off before entity documents
  • Entity documents — upload, retrieve, and confirm required entity FICA documents
  • Onboarding decision — approve, decline, or refer the application
  • PDF report — download the completed entity FICA application report

External system linking is supported via externalSystemId on create and update.

Documentation​

New Entity API guides are available under API Documentation → Entities, including workflow, organigram, documents, UBOs, and identifier reference pages.

Entity webhook behaviour is documented separately under Webhooks → Entity (UI-driven sync; the Public Entity API does not emit webhooks).

📚 API reference​

Entity endpoints are included in the OpenAPI reference with request and response schemas aligned to the live API.
