How to create a jurisdiction
Learn how to create jurisdictions, select countries, and assign optional tags to automate client assignment during registration in B2CORE
To create a jurisdiction:
Navigate to Clients > Jurisdictions.
Click +Create in the upper-right page corner.
On the Create a jurisdiction page, fill in the following fields:
In the Caption field, enter the name that you want to apply to the jurisdiction, for example:
Latin America.In the Countries dropdown, select countries that belong to the jurisdiction.
Only the countries that are enabled on the System > Countries page are listed in the dropdown.
In the Client types dropdown, select client types to associate with the jurisdiction.
Only the client types that are enabled on the Clients > Types page are listed in the dropdown.
In the Tags dropdown, optionally select one or more tags that will be automatically assigned to clients along with the jurisdiction.
In the Description field, enter the description or additional details about the jurisdiction.
Select the Apply changes to all existing clients checkbox to apply the jurisdiction to all existing clients whose country and client type match the combinations added to the jurisdiction.
Leave the checkbox disabled to apply the jurisdiction only to clients who register after creating the jurisdiction. The existing clients won't be affected.
Click Save to create the jurisdiction.
Clients can now be automatically assigned to the jurisdiction after they complete the registration process, based on their countries and client types. The assigned jurisdiction is displayed in the Additional Info section in the client details, where it can also be changed manually.
How to edit a jurisdiction
To edit a jurisdiction:
Navigate to Clients > Jurisdictions.
Select the jurisdiction that you want to modify and click the Edit button.
On the Update jurisdiction page, you can make the following changes:
In the Countries dropdown, add or remove countries associated with the jurisdiction.
In the Client types dropdown, add or remove types associated with the jurisdiction.
In the Tags dropdown, add or remove tags that will be assigned to clients belonging to this jurisdiction.
To apply the updated settings to the existing clients, select the Apply changes to all existing clients checkbox.
Leave the checkbox disabled to apply the changes only to new clients who register after the changes are saved. The existing clients won’t be affected.
Click Save to apply the updates to the jurisdiction settings.
The changes will take effect based on whether the Apply changes to all existing clients checkbox is selected or disabled.
If you have any jurisdiction-based restrictions applied to products, deposit and withdrawal methods, or verification levels, they will be in effect for clients according to the updated jurisdiction settings.
Example 1
Suppose two jurisdictions are configured with the same countries but different client type settings:
The Seychelles (SC) jurisdiction:
Countries: UAE and Oman
Client type: Personal
The Mauritius (MU) jurisdiction:
Countries: UAE and Oman
Client type: Corporate
When new clients are registered:
A client from UAE with Personal type is automatically assigned the SC jurisdiction.
A client from UAE with Corporate type is automatically assigned the MU jurisdiction.
A client from Oman with Personal type is assigned the SC jurisdiction.
A client from Oman with Corporate type is assigned the MU jurisdiction.
A client from a country not listed in either jurisdiction, or with a client type not matching the jurisdiction settings, isn't assigned any jurisdiction.
Example 2
Suppose the Seychelles (SC) jurisdiction from the above example is updated: Oman is removed and Saudi Arabia is added:
The Seychelles (SC) jurisdiction:
Countries: UAE and Saudi Arabia
Client type: Personal
If the Apply changes to all existing clients checkbox is enabled:
The SC jurisdiction is removed from existing clients whose country is Oman and client type Personal. They aren't assigned any jurisdiction.
Existing clients from Saudi Arabia with Personal type are assigned the SC jurisdiction.
Existing clients from UAE remain unchanged.
The updated SC jurisdiction will also be assigned to newly registered clients based on the updated country list.
If the Apply changes to all existing clients checkbox is disabled:
Existing clients remain unchanged. For example, clients from Oman with Personal type still have the SC jurisdiction even though Oman has been removed.
The updated SC jurisdiction only applies to clients who register after the changes are saved, based on the updated country list.
