#### Create a sender

{% hint style="info" %}
In addresses the `suburb` field is an Australian suburb. For other countries you should put the city (e.g. Manila or London) or any other small administrative area name.

If you find it technically challenging to submit all components of the sender’s address, we would appreciate it if you could at least collect the sender’s country along with a complete address string that includes the postcode and put them into the `country` and `street` fields, respectively. In this case, you can skip the `postcode`, `suburb`, and `state` fields, and the sender record will still be created.

Please note that the `street` field is mandatory for Australian addresses.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The date of birth (`dob`) is not mandatory. However, if it is not provided, your transactions may undergo additional compliance reviews, which can lead to longer processing times—potentially several hours or days instead of seconds. Please also be aware that this may result in additional fees to cover the extra effort involved.

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
