# Resend Corporate KYC OTP

POST https://shimi-waas-api-9493532b9281.herokuapp.com/api/v1/coop/retry-otp
Content-Type: application/json

Resends the OTP for an in-progress corporate KYC session. Same rate limits as **Initiate Corporate KYC**.

**Body**
| Field | Type | Required | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| `session_id` | string | yes | `session_id` returned by **Initiate Corporate KYC**. Must belong to your company. Not schema-validated - omitting it produces a `500` with an internal error message. |

**Behaviour**
- Re-initiates BVN verification with the provider (a new provider reference and a new OTP); the session's previous OTP should be treated as void.
- Shares the 3-attempt limit and 60-second cooldown with **Initiate Corporate KYC** (the initial send counts as attempt 1, so at most 2 resends).
- A session that is already `VERIFIED` (or otherwise closed) returns `400 Session closed`.
- `message` on success/provider-failure is passed through from the provider (fallbacks `OTP re-sent` / `Unable to retry`).
