Account Holders
When using the Ntropy API, you can provide information about the account holder of a certain transaction. In this way, when you enrich a transaction using the API or SDK, it will also be added to that account holder’s transaction history.
An account holder represents an entity (business, consumer) that can be uniquely identified by an id
and holds
the account associated with the transaction.
Account holders provide important context for understanding transactions and allow additional operations such as:
- Identifying recurrence between transactions of the same account.
- Insights for an account holder such as income information over a period of time, subscriptions, and so on.
