Compliance tasks
Compliance tasks represent actionable steps that a connected account must complete to become or remain operational.
They provide structured guidance for fulfilling regulatory and contractual obligations, such as accepting agreements or completing declarations.
Why tasks exist
Requirements indicate what is missing or incomplete.
Tasks provide the context needed to resolve those requirements.
For example:
- A requirement may indicate that an agreement must be accepted
- A task provides the agreement bundle, documents, and instructions needed to collect that acceptance
How tasks relate to requirements
Tasks are derived from requirements.
- Requirements define what is needed
- Tasks define how to complete it
- Attestations record that the action was completed
Not all requirements produce tasks. Tasks are used when additional context or structured interaction is required.
Typical use cases
Tasks are commonly used to:
- Collect agreement acceptance
- Present legal documents
- Capture declarations or confirmations
- Guide users through compliance actions
- Resolve blocking account conditions
Task lifecycle
Retrieve the current compliance status and list of tasks for the account.
Display documents, checkboxes, or declarations based on the task payload.
Capture acceptance from an authorized person.
Send the completed attestation to the API.
Re-fetch account status to confirm the task is resolved.
Blocking vs non-blocking tasks
Tasks may be marked as blocking.
- Blocking tasks must be completed before the account can operate
- Non-blocking tasks can be completed later without immediately restricting the account
{
"blocking": true,
"status": "action_required"
}
Relationship to onboarding and operations
Tasks can appear:
- During onboarding
- After onboarding is completed
- At any point when compliance requirements change
Your platform should continuously monitor and process tasks as part of normal account operations.
