Use the Create Account endpoint to create an account for a new customer. You can use this endpoint for personalized, instant issue, and secondary products.
This endpoint runs CIP if you are using Galileo's integrated CIP process. In contrast with the Start Enrollment endpoint, Create Account creates a customer record and at the same time creates an account. Depending on product settings, it also creates a card and loads funds onto it.
Consult the Creating an Account procedure for instructions on using this endpoint, and consult the Customer ID Verification guide for how to use this endpoint with Galileo's integrated CIP solution. The instructions include a flowchart to illustrate how Create Account works in the Galileo system. Also see Create Account vs Add Account in the About Accounts guide.
Note
You can receive PCI-sensitive information only if your provider parameters permit it.
Duplicate use of customer ID
Galileo can configure your product parameters to allow or disallow the duplicate use of customer IDs such as SSNs across your programs. (If one of your prospective customers already has a product with another Galileo partner, no duplicate is detected.)
CIP response
If you are using Galileo's integrated CIP solution, the Create Account response includes the verdict. Consult Create Account and Create Virtual Account Process in the Customer ID Verification (CIP/KYC) guide for more information.
Test names in the CV environment
In the CV environment only, you can use specific names with the Create Account endpoint to trigger different CIP responses. For the firstName, middleName, and lastName parameters, use these values:
John F Smith— Triggers a CIP failure (F)John R Smith— Triggers a CIP refer (R)John P Smith— Triggers a CIP pass (P)
Do not use these test names in Production.
Required fields
Most input parameters for this endpoint are not required, to accommodate various use cases. If you would like some of the parameters to be required, populate the PINED product parameter with the parameters to be required. For example: idType,id.
If this endpoint returns a status code that does not match a status code that is specific to this endpoint, it may be an enrollment status code. See Enrollment Statuses for more information.
See Global Response Statuses for status codes that are common across endpoints.
