Update a Legal Entity

TAB-Individual Legal Entity

You may need to update an individual Legal Entity , for example if an address changes. You can do this by patching the Legal Entity. See here for more information.

curl --request PATCH \
  -u ORG_ID:API_KEY \
  --url https://app.moderntreasury.com/api/legal_entities/5d95643d-1127-4a7c-9ef5-ad21a1d007c6 \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "addresses": [
      {
        "primary": true,
        "line1": "77 Geary Street",
        "line2": "Floor 4",
        "locality": "San Fransisco",
        "region": "CA",
        "postal_code": "94108",
        "country": "US"
      }
    ]
  }'

Note that if you are sending information to banking partners, they may restrict edits to specific fields. For example, you may be able to edit an address, but not an identification.

TAB-Business Legal Entity

You may need to update a business Legal Entity. The specific action you need to take depends on the type of edit.

You can made edits to a Legal Entity by patching it. For example, you can update the address of a parent business Legal Entity or one of its child individual Legal Entities. See here for more information.

curl --request PATCH \
  -u ORG_ID:API_KEY \
  --url https://app.moderntreasury.com/api/legal_entities/5d95643d-1127-4a7c-9ef5-ad21a1d007c6 \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "addresses": [
      {
        "primary": true,
        "line1": "77 Geary Street",
        "line2": "Floor 4",
        "locality": "San Fransisco",
        "region": "CA",
        "postal_code": "94108",
        "country": "US"
      }
    ]
  }'

Changes to Legal Entity Associations, such as if the beneficial owners of a business change, are currently not supported. We will improve this in the future.
