## <div class="pill pill-green">Added</div>

### ScaContext request parameter added to Recipient creation endpoint

The `ScaContext` parameter has been added to the [POST Create a Recipient](/api-reference/recipients/create-recipient) endpoint to enable platforms to request this action on behalf of the user with the user's consent.

Provided `RecipientScope` is `PAYOUT` (which is the default value), then the `ScaContext` parameter is set to `USER_PRESENT` by default because the user must perform SCA to register the external bank account.

If your platform has a proxy in place with the user that allows you to register a bank account on their behalf, then the user must also provide consent to Mangopay. Once proxy management is activated by Mangopay, the user can provide consent via the hosted SCA session returned on the [POST Manage proxy consent for a User](/api-reference/users/manage-proxy-consent) endpoint, or the next SCA session returned for them after proxy activation.

If proxy management is activated for the action and the user has given consent, then your platform can use the `USER_NOT_PRESENT` value to create a recipient without the User present to perform SCA. If the User has not given or revoked consent, then a 403 error is returned.

No changes are required on Recipients for platforms not using proxy for external bank account registration.

## <div class="pill pill-orange">Changed</div>

### Legacy User endpoints deprecated

The legacy User endpoints, made redundant during the introduction of SCA, have been marked as deprecated:

* [POST Create a Natural User](/api-reference/users/create-natural-user)
* [POST Create a Legal User](/api-reference/users/create-legal-user)
* [PUT Update a Natural User](/api-reference/users/update-natural-user)
* [PUT Update a Legal User](/api-reference/users/update-legal-user)
* [GET View a User](/api-reference/users/view-user)

<Warning>
  **Caution – Endpoints planned for removal Dec 15, 2025**

  The endpoints above will cease to function after Dec 15, 2025.

  Your platform must integrate the equivalent SCA-enabled endpoints to avoid errors.

  All platforms should call the new endpoints in all cases, including those where SCA is not required (e.g. for `PAYER` users).
</Warning>

### In Sandbox, SCA applied to all Legal User types

In **Sandbox**, SCA is now applied to all Legal User types by default. Previously, the SCA redirection link (`RedirectUrl`) was only returned if the `LegalPersonType` was `SOLETRADER`.

In Production, SCA will be applied to all Legal User types on Dec 15, 2025.
