  description: 'A User serves as the primary entity and can possess multiple Profiles to represent different contexts or settings.

    A User can have one personal Profile and multiple business Profiles.

    Each [Profile](/api-reference/profile) — whether personal or business — can have its own [multi-currency account](/api-reference/multi-currency-account),

    enabling transactions across various currencies. This hierarchical structure allows for flexible management of user settings and financial operations,

    accommodating both personal and business needs.
