Hello There is a way to pull a member id on the banking core However it is slightly different for every Financial Institution FI Sometimes it is customer id sometimes it is primary cif sometimes it is a custom field on user data There is a lot of ways this is identified for various FIs In general we recommend to not tie to the core at all whenever possible whether you are an FI or a third party developer If you really need data from the core please make a support case on q2developer com and we can walk you through how to go about this If you are just looking for a unique identifier for a user I would recommend using a combination user id and either the aba or a identifier you set in a wedge address config To get this on the frontend You would most likely need to make a call to the backend to request this data You can see an example call here https docs q2developer com guides frontend development uux payload html making api calls to your extension Hope this helps Trey Teter Software Engineer
