Linking a UBO to an entity

Optionally, you can link existing applicants or entities to another entity as a UBO

When you've created an entity, use this endpoint to link other applicants or entities as ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) to the original entity. This will allow you to clearly view the company structure.

Note: You don't need to use this endpoint if you're verifying an entity using a verification link. Verification links require representatives to input UBOs during the verification process.

Before linking a UBO, make sure you have created the applicant or entity using the required endpoints: Creating an applicantor Creating an entity. You will need to remember their applicantId for this call and input them into uboApplicantId.
