Create Partner Subaccount Request

Create a subaccount request for a user.

Available to: Organization administrators

Environments: Live

Rate Limit: 250 requests per hour, 30-second back-off, counts all requests

Use this endpoint to submit a new subaccount request for a user in your organization.

US vs Non-US Requirements

• US citizens: Require a valid taxIdentifier (Social Security Number, exactly 9 digits). The nationalId field is optional.
• Non-US citizens: Require a valid nationalId (2-64 alphanumeric characters). The taxIdentifier field is optional.

requestId for Uploading Documents

A successful request returns a unique requestId. Use this value:

• As the subAccountRequestId when uploading the user’s required documents with submitPartnerSubAccountDocument
• As the subAccountRequestId when tracking the progress of a subaccount request with getPartnerSubAccountRequestStatus

Optional: Attach Previously Uploaded Documents

If you have already uploaded the user’s required documents with submitCustomerApplicationDocument, you can link them to the subaccount request by providing all three documentId fields (partial sets are rejected):

• pOAFormDocId
• governmentDocId
• addressDocId

If you provide all three document IDs, the documents are linked directly and you do not need to call submitPartnerSubAccountDocument afterward.

Optional: Specify an Auto-Liquidation Profile

Include autoLiqProfileId to assign a specific auto-liquidation profile to the new account. If you omit this field, the system uses your organization’s default auto-liquidation profile.

The system validates that the profile exists and belongs to your organization before accepting the request. If validation fails, the response includes an errorText:

• "Auto-liq profile not found": the profile ID does not exist
• "Auto-liq profile does not belong to this organization": the profile belongs to a different organization

Contact Evaluation Support for your organization’s available profile IDs.

Next Steps

• If you have not uploaded the user’s required documents, call submitPartnerSubAccountDocument to upload them.
• If you already uploaded the user’s required documents and provided the document IDs, call getPartnerSubAccountRequestStatus to check the status of the subaccount request.
