The identity endpoint has a set of fields that are available to verify the user identity and also helps your business for KYC (Know Your Customer) and user verification purposes. This can also be used for auto-completing account data and helps in reducing fraud. Personal information such as name, phone number, date of birth, or Bank Verification Number (BVN) can be returned to help identify the user from a specific financial institution.
