Creating Your Merchant

Create a legal individual or business entity (Merchant) to operate under TruBit's compliance framework.

  • Submit your detailed merchant information to initiate the KYC/KYB compliance verification process.

  • Upon successful verification, the platform will assign a unique Merchant ID (MID) to you or your client.

Upon a successful API request, the response will include a unique URL that redirects the user to a secure KYC/KYB verification page. You may choose to:

  • Redirect users directly to the provided URL to complete their verification process, or

  • Embed the verification flow within your front-end application using an <iframe>, offering a seamless user experience.

Please ensure that the URL is used promptly, as it may be subject to expiration or session constraints depending on the configuration.

I. Multi-Merchant Management

Once your primary merchant account has successfully passed KYB verification, you are eligible to create and manage sub-merchant entities (for individuals or businesses) under your account. This allows for tiered merchant management with flexible role and access controls.

II. Reliance Mode Integration (Optional)

If you are a licensed financial institution, you may apply to enable Reliance Mode, which grants greater autonomy over your merchant operations:

  • You will be responsible for the review, risk control, and ongoing compliance of your sub-merchants. TruBit will not intervene in the onboarding process.

  • TruBit provides the technical infrastructure and operational support, ensuring transaction security, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

  • Reliance Mode requires a higher-tier compliance review by the TruBit compliance team.
