Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) User Flag Codes (flag_code) designate the reason a user was flagged for EDD review. Please note that steps in this process may be bypassed if Compliance finds the user to be fraudulent (e.g. if user supplies fraudulent documents, in which case the user would be immediately LOCKED with "permission_code": "KYC_FRAUD|FRAUDULENT_DOCS").

Platform Flag Codes

Platforms can submit two types of requests to flag users for review. This can either lead to requests from Synapse's Compliance team for additional documentation or to immediate decisioning to a final status user flag code.

Flag Code	Description	Message to User
`PENDING_REVIEW\|` `ACCOUNT_CLOSURE\|` `BLOCKED_INDUSTRY`	User is operating within a restricted or prohibited industry and must be reviewed for account closure. Can lead to `ACCOUNT_CLOSURE\|BLOCKED_INDUSTRY` flag code if Compliance confirms that user is operating within a restricted or prohibited industry.	N/A
`PENDING_REVIEW\|` `ACCOUNT_CLOSURE\|` `HIGH_RISK`	User has been deemed as high risk because of the documents uploaded during the onboarding process or based on the activity through the account and must be reviewed for account closure.
