What happens next

After you submit:
  1. Your application enters pending_review status and is queued for review.
  2. Thiqwave’s compliance team reviews your documents within 1–3 business days.
  3. If additional information is needed, your status changes to more_information_required and you receive a webhook with details of what to provide.
  4. Once approved, your account status moves to approved and you can start processing live transactions.
Subscribe to the compliance.status_updated webhook event to receive real-time notifications instead of polling GET /v1/compliance/:id.
