What type of security best practices for Sila’s API payment data are there?

All of Sila’s APIs come with customer due diligence best practices, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB) and other ingrained compliance.

While payment data collected through the Sila API is secured by the Sila platform and our partners, each client will have to follow payment data best practices to ensure this data is secure.
