Customer Management

12min

Manage your customer information in the Cross River operating system (COS) using either APIs or COS Explorer. This information includes basic details needed to open a bank account or use a credit card, as well as more specific data about the customer, as needed. We call this a customer record.

Before you can open a deposit account or create a debit card you must establish the customer record, sometimes called onboarding.You can then assign one or more customers to an account through customer relationships.

Customer Onboarding

The customer record is the primary resource containing customer information. Therefore, before creating an account for a customer, you must onboard that customer. The customer record supports classifications of type Personal or Business . Once onboarded, you can associate a customer with one or more accounts.

The example below shows an onboarding request for a personal customer.

Onboard Person Request


Onboard a business customer such as corporation or LLC using the same endpoint with slightly different attributes.

Regardless of whether you are onboarding a personal or business customer, the primaryOwnerCustomerId attribute must contain a customer ID referencing a customer record of type Personal. So to onboard a business, you must first create a personal customer record for the primary owner of that business.

IMPORTANT Some customer endpoints include a dueDiligence resource that may or may not be required when onboarding personal customers. Your assigned compliance liaison communicates requirements for any Due Diligence fields during your onboarding process.

Beneficial Owners

A beneficial owner is a person who owns 25% or more of a business. For regulatory reasons, you need to create a Beneficial Owner resource in a Business customer record for each beneficial owner of that business. The ownerCustomerId attribute references the Personal customer record for each beneficial owner. You usually add beneficial owner resourcesto the business customer record immediately after onboarding a business.
