# Information we collect

> The customer information collected during Retail Virtual Account onboarding for KYC.

When you onboard a customer into a Retail Virtual Account, Meridian collects the information below for Know Your Customer (KYC) verification.

<Note>
  **This list can change.** The fields collected are driven dynamically by the session API and may be added to, removed, or adjusted over time as compliance requirements evolve — so this page may not always reflect the exact current set. For the authoritative, up-to-date list, refer to the [Create a Session](/products/retail-va/api-reference/sessions/create-session) API reference.
