This guide walks you through ingesting Members - the individuals and entities associated with corporate clients as Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), Directors, Officers, or Signatories. Full API reference is available in the API Reference.
Before ingesting members, make sure the related corporate clients have already been ingested. See the Ingesting Clients guide.

​
Overview

Members represent the people and entities behind a corporate client. Each member has:
  • A role type defining their relationship to the corporate (e.g., OWNER, DIRECTOR, BENEFICIAL_OWNER)
  • Screening statuses for Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media checks
  • An approval status reflecting their overall verification state
Members support upsert behavior: if a member with the same referenceId already exists, it will be updated.
