Link Customer to Loan

General

Loans and customers are "linked" when they become associated with each other. Here's what you need to know about linking loans and customers:

• This request is sent through the Loans endpoint. Thus, the Customers object is included in the payload.
• Both loans and customers can be created without being associated to each other.
• Similar to the UI, you can link multiple customers to a loan in a single request.
• Like we've mentioned in other requests, many users tend to want to simultaneously link a customer when they create a new loan within one request. If this is the case for you, you will need to create a new customer first. Here's why:
  
  When you create a new loan and link a customer all within the same request, you send it through the Loans endpoint. Therefore, you will need a valid customer ID since you can't create a customer through the Loans endpoint.
  
  For information on how to simultaneously link a customer while creating a new loan, take a look at our Create New Loan request.

And for an example of how linking works within the UI, read our Link a Customer to a Loan article.

Database

For information on loans and customers database tables, see the following articles:

• Database – Loan Table (loan_entity)
• Database – Loan Setup (loan_setup_entity)
• Database – Loan Status Entity (loan_status_entity)
• Database – Customer Main Table (customer_entity)

{
	"Customers": {
		"results": [
			{
				"__id": 873,
				"__setLoanRole": "loan.customerRole.primary"	
			}
		]
	}
}
