Update a Natural User

<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Caution - Deprecated endpoint**

The legacy User endpoints are deprecated. This endpoint will stop working and return an error after Dec 15, 2025.

These endpoints were made redundant by the equivalent SCA-enabled endpoints during the introduction of SCA.

Instead of calling this endpoint to change the UserCategory from PAYER to OWNER, your platform must call PUT Categorize a Natural User. You must also redirect the user on the PendingUserAction.RedirectUrl returned so they can enroll in SCA.

If you are not changing the UserCategory, then call the PUT Update a Natural User (SCA) endpoint instead of this deprecated endpoint. SCA re-enrollment is required if your platform changes the Email, PhoneNumber, or PhoneNumberCountry. </Warning>

<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Caution – Modification may cause KYC/B verification downgrade**

If KYCLevel is REGULAR, modifying the following values triggers a verification downgrade to LIGHT:

  • FirstName
  • LastName
  • Birthday
  • Nationality </Warning>
<Note icon="fa-regular fa-circle-info"> **Note – Country-based restrictions apply to users**

Due to Mangopay's country restrictions, it is not possible to use blocked countries as the following:

  • Nationality
  • CountryOfResidence
  • Address.Country </Note>
