Overview

Update an existing customer with a partial JSON body. Only include fields you want to change. Typical uses include correcting profile data, refreshing identity documents, and submitting proof-of-funds details.

Request body

All fields are optional:

Field	Description
`date_of_birth`	`YYYY-MM-DD`
`address`	Same shape as on create customer; `address.document` is a base64 string when provided
`first_name`, `last_name`, `phone`, `gender`, `country_code`	Profile fields
`documents`	Array of document objects (see below)
`proof_of_funds`	Employment and source-of-funds fields

`documents` items

Each element uses the same shape as on create (see Identity documents):

id_type — One of: passport, resident_id, drivers_license, national_id, voters_card, nin, bvn, or a tax ID type (see Tax ID document)
id_number — Value on the document
front_doc — Base64-encoded image of the front
back_doc — Base64-encoded image of the back when needed

For passport, resident_id, drivers_license, national_id, voters_card, and nin, you need at most front_doc (base64); back_doc is not required for those types.

`proof_of_funds`

Optional object with: employment_status, occupation, primary_purpose, source_of_funds, expected_monthly_pay. Use the Field values from the reference tables in your JSON (not free-text labels). See Proof of funds options.
