# Wallet Contact

The owner of a user wallet. | `Enterprise`

A wallet contact is the person who is associated with a user wallet and can access the wallet’s available funds. Every user wallet can either be created as a company wallet or a personal wallet. A wallet is a container that is designed to accept payments, fund payouts and issue cards to users.

> **Note:**
>
> "Client wallets" are automatically created when starting an account in the Rapyd Client Portal. Client Wallets are described in [Funding Your Client Wallet](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/funding-your-client-wallet.md "Funding Your Client Wallet").

A business user of the company wallet will need to complete the [KYB](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/glossary.md#UUID-945d98cf-adae-e1cf-2606-c7fae8b4a7e1_kyb "Know Your Business") process and the personal user of the wallet will need to complete the [KYC](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/glossary.md#UUID-945d98cf-adae-e1cf-2606-c7fae8b4a7e1_kyc "Know Your Customer") process for verification as defined in `verification_status`.
