# Send confirmation code for contact verification

Send a verification code to an email or phone number.
This creates a confirmation code in the system which can be used
via the `.../contacts` endpoint to verify the contact. (i.e., this
sets the `verified` attribute of the contact to `true`.)
This endpoint is rate limited to 10 requests per *borrower*
per hour.
An interaction is created with InteractionSubject `confirmationCode`.
NOTE: This endpoint is not checked against Compliance Guard, however
it should never be necessary to restrict sending confirmation codes
due to compliance guard rules.
