Remove a Beneficial Owner

Removes a beneficial owner from the business. As in v2, the owner's status does not matter: one already approved can be removed too. Removing an owner that is already gone, or that belongs to another business, answers 404.

Takes a workspace-scoped API key or a dashboard session. An account-scoped key is refused with 401.

Replaces DELETE /api/v2/kyb/banking-verification/business/ownership/{ownerId}.

Authorization:

Every request is signed with your API key: a short-lived JWT, signed with your private key, sent in one header on /v3/* and /api/v2/* alike.

Headers:
Authorization: APIKey {SIGNED_JWT}

How to build and sign the JWT: Authentication.
