Chapter 2 Creating a user provision

Provisioning a user is the initial step in the process of creating a user account within the bunq platform. This step involves assigning basic user attributes and configurations, such as unique identifiers, contact method, and necessary personal details. By completing this step, you obtain an API Key in order to do actions on-behalf-of the user (such as finalizing the onboarding and then creating monetary accounts, cards, payments etc).
