# Create Customer

Use this endpoint to create profile for an individual.

<Info>
  Once a customer profile is created, you are required to provide the customer's
  BVN and NIN via the KYC endpoints. **Please note**: A customer must attain a
  KYC Tier 1 status before an open wallet can be created for them.

  It is standard practice to save the returned customerId once you have
  successfully created a customer. This reduces the number of api calls you have
  to make to embedly to perform certain actions thereby improving the speed of
  your application
