Create Customer

This method is called to create a customer record in Oval under the fintech partners’ profile. A unique Customer ID would be automatically generated upon successful creation and this identifies the customer for all subsequent transactions within Oval Finance and should be stored by the fintech partner.

A customer once created is automatically granted access to all Ovals’ services.

🚧
OvalFi would not be responsible for the KYC of the individual account creation, this is expected to be done by the partners/business entities only.
However, our compliance team would verify the flow before access to the production environment.
