You’re verified

Let’s get started

Fed up of identity-fraud complicating user-experience?

Whether you’re fighting fraud from identity theft, verifying identities as good-practice or following strict industry regulations, it’s no secret that verification processes can be time consuming, costly and often hinder new-user conversion rates.

Legacy ways of verifying bank accounts, like requesting bank statements and micro-deposits, are no longer fit for purpose. Their security is questionable, they’re prone to errors, and they take forever. This results in complicated payment experiences and poor conversion figures. So, we set about solving customer verification for good.

All you need is as-if-by-magic Verification

Our Verification add-on is an innovative product that uses bank security together with our name-matching logic, so we can verify customer accounts in seconds.

All the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money-Laundering checks happen automatically in real-time, in the background, without disturbing the user experience.

So, you benefit from heightened security without any added friction whatsoever. So, beautifully seamless payment experiences mean your customer conversion rates will shoot up.

All the Verification tools you need

Name verification

We crosscheck your user’s name with the account holder to confirm the details are correct. In the UK we add an extra layer of security with Confirmation of Payee (CoP) services.

Account verification

Utilising open banking technology, customers verify their account instantly using the simple and convenient biometric authentication in their bank app.

Suspense accounts

Our unique security feature temporarily holds funds so they’re inaccessible to merchants and customers until age or name verification is complete. If it fails, customers are refunded.

Verification keeps payments and payouts instant
