1. Create a Person Application

The first step in applying to open a new bank account is to create a Person Application for the person(s) associated with the application for the bank account. For business accounts, you will need to create a Person Application for each of the people who will be able to access the account, as well as any persons who have at least 25% ownership in the company (beneficial owners). To create a Person Application, make a POST request to the person_application endpoint, passing a Person Application object containing the personal information of the individual who will be tied to the account.

​
Example Request to Create a Person Application

curl -u $API_KEY_ID:$API_SECRET_KEY https://api.treasuryprime.com/apply/person_application \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{

          },
          "tin": "111222444"
        }'

​
2. Create a Business Application

If applying for a personal bank account, you can move ahead to Create a Deposit (optional) or Create an Account Application To create a Business Application, make a POST request to the business_application endpoint, passing in a Person Applications object for each person who will be associated with the account as part of the person_applications array. Note the id property should contain the id of the Person Application for this person. The format for the Person sub-object is as follows: 
{
  "id": "apsn_11g55jve4455",
  "roles": ["control_person", "signer"],
  "ownership_percentage": 60,
  "title": "Optional title of person within the business"
}

    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

​
Example Response

​
5. Create an Account Application

The final step in applying to open a new bank account is submitting the Account Application. This application will list the type of account being applied for, the person(s) who will have access to the account, and their roles as they pertain to the account. If successfully created, the Account Application will initially be in status submitted, then moving to status processing. Depending on the results of the KYC (Know Your Customer) process, the Account Application will move to status approved, rejected, or manual_review. Once an Account Application passes KYC, then an account is created and the account_id field is populated. The account is not fully setup until the status of the account is “approved”, signifying that the account setup process is complete.

​
Personal Account Application

To create a personal Account Application, make a POST request to the account_application endpoint, passing an Account Application object containing information about the associated Person Application(s), the ID of the primary Person Application, and the ID of the Account Product being applied for.
Note: See the section Account application with initial deposit for an example of including a deposit with the Account Application.

​
Retrieve Information About Account Owners

The person_ids and business_ids properties in an Account object let you retrieve information about account owners (persons and businesses respectively).
Note that Person and Business objects are separate from the Person Application and Business Application objects. Information about persons and businesses are expected to change (such as changing a name or address) and reflect current data, while Person Application and Business Application objects are static and are a snapshot of these entities at the time that they applied for an account.

​
Retrieve Person Information

To retrieve information about a person related to an account, make a GET request to the person/:id endpoint passing the person_id which is found in the Account object.

To retrieve information about the business related to an account, make a GET request to the business/:id endpoint passing the business_id found in the Account object.

​
Example Business Request

curl -u $API_KEY_ID:$API_SECRET_KEY https://api.treasuryprime.com/business/com_11g55kw6446a

​
Testing Account Applications

When testing your integration, it may be useful to coerce an Account Application into a particular status (for example, forcing the status to show “approved”). This can be accomplished by adjusting specific values as outlined below.
More information on testing can be found here.
