Detailed Changes
Resend Login Fixes
- Final fix to ensure the resend login email function always delivers the invite to enterprise contacts.
- Correct portal URLs are now embedded in every invite email when registering a new deal.
- Benefit: Ensures smooth onboarding for enterprises and eliminates login confusion.
BCID Application Locking Logic
- Once submitted, BCID applications are now locked and can no longer be edited.
- Exception: if NumHub flags a step, the user can edit only that specific flagged step.
- After vetting is complete, editing is fully disabled to prevent resubmission and billing errors.
- Benefit: Prevents confusion and ensures better process control during and after vetting.
Understanding the Status in your BCID Application:
- Saved - The BCID Application has been started but not yet submitted. "Edit" option is available.
- Pending in Review - The BCID Application has been successfully submitted and it is ready to start the Vetting Process. "Edit" option is available.
- In Progress - The BCID Application is currently on the Vetting Process. "Edit" option is disabled.
- In Progress but with Flagged Steps - The BCID Application is currently on the Vetting Process but there are one or more steps that needs your attention. "Edit" option is available.
- Complete - The BCID Application has been approved! "Edit" option is disabled.
- Rejected - The BCID Application has been rejected. Check the rejection comments and you can always resubmit. "Edit" option is available.
BCID Flagging System + Alerts

- Flags are triggered by the vetting team when clarification or supporting documents are required.
- Alerts appear in the dashboard and are paired with email notifications to OSPs and Enterprises.
- A comments icon will appear in the Status List to review flagged steps and feedback.
- Users can edit only the flagged step and re-submit. This does not trigger a new charge.
- Benefit: Streamlines communication, reduces email back-and-forth, and speeds up vetting.
API Error Notifications (Internal Only)
- Added backend alerts for NumHub Global Admins to detect:
- Failed Display Identity creation
