# submit_funding_profile

> Save the user's one-time funding profile so funding checkouts can skip the provider questionnaire

Saves the user's one-time funding profile: five multiple-choice compliance answers (employment status, source of funds, industry, income band, expected yearly funding volume). With a profile on file, balance funding checkouts can skip the payment provider's own identity questionnaire (the user's existing KYC is reused). Ask the user each question conversationally and submit their answers; this is **not** a re-verification and no documents are involved. Answers can be updated any time by calling it again.

<Note>
  **Advanced tool.** Not advertised in the default `tools/list`: it is a one-time, error-triggered compliance step, usually prompted by a funding flow. It remains callable by name; see [tool gating](/companies/mcp/overview#tool-gating).
</Note>

## Parameters

Every choice field takes one of a fixed set of values; the tool's input schema lists the exact enums (inspect it with `agent-cards api schema submit_funding_profile`).

Registers the profile with the funding provider immediately so the next funding attempt skips the review wait; omit if the disclosure was not shown |

## Returns

A human-readable `message` confirming the profile was saved, or naming what to fix.
