Start cardholder KYC verification

Starts hosted verification for a cardholder, with a liveness check, and returns a link. The link expires after one hour.

Do not call this for a customer whose KYC is already completed. It sets the customer's KYC back to pending until the new review ends, which can block accounts and cards. To get only a liveness check, use the link that feature activation returns.

Every error on this route is HTTP 400.
