What is an entity? How can I use the Entity API to manage my multinational business?

If your business is multinational, you can make use of our entity endpoint to separate them operationally but have them under the same business.

No longer do you need to create new accounts every time you expand your business to a new country, you just need to request your account manager to create a new entity and it will be connected to the same business ID. You can then choose to have both entities settled in the currency of your choice: whether that’s two different currencies or just your local currency.

You don't even have to create new accounts if you're expanding to a new country. If you have multiple industries within the same business and want to classify them separately as two different entities under the same business ID, you can do so as well.

Tap Payments gives you the flexibility to classify your business flow as you want it. For more details on creating an entity, check out our entity API within our documentation page.
