Occupation Codes (KYC)

Which values Rain accepts for the consumer occupation field, and where to find the SOC code list.

For KYC consumer applications, the occupation field takes a SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) code, for example 15-1252 for Software Developers. Both the 2010 and 2018 SOC classification versions are accepted. You can download Rain’s accepted list.

How validation works

• The API validates occupation against Rain’s accepted list and returns a 400 for any other value.
• The field also accepts the occupation’s title (for example, Software Developers) in place of the code, but it must match Rain’s list exactly, so send the code.
• The field is optional: an application without it is accepted, but Rain recommends sending it.
