Introduction

This endpoint is used to add an external Contact via the borderless™ API. This is a POST request that takes in body parameters noted below. These vary per country so please use the required information endpoint to confirm what data is required for your specific Contact's country.

Note: Creating contact with a card through the API is a secure operation that adheres to strict encryption protocols and PCI compliance standards. To protect sensitive payment data, this process requires additional authentication steps, ensuring that all card information is handled safely and responsibly. Please contact your account manager to enable this functionality. Alternatively, cards may be created through the Link Widget by selecting the Debit Card option.
