About Cardholders
Galileo refers to your customers as Cardholders.
The Cardholder Object (see below) contains personal information about your cardholder. This information may be used for various purposes, as described below.
- Information such as

is used solely to pass the CIP identity verification and isn't available to you after cardholder creation. - Information such as the
shipping_address
is used by Galileo for operational purposes (e.g., mailing cards). - Information such as
mobile
is available to you and may be useful for your purposes.
The Cardholder Object does not contain any financial information such as balance or transactions; this information belongs to an account. When a cardholder is created, an associated Spending Account is created by default. A cardholder does not itself belong to any particular product, but each of its accounts does.
