How bank account verification works
Bank account verification is embedded into the verification journey as standard by API, designed to reduce implementation time and offer immediate value to compliance workflows.
The validation process can be completed in a couple of easy, automated steps after the user enters their bank or building society details.
Step 1 — User selects their bank or building society
Supporting all UK banks and building societies, the user provides their account number and sort code.
Step 2 — Verification in real time
Our platform validates ownership and confirms the account details instantly, alongside the users name and address.
Step 3 — Receive verification results
Structured verification results are returned through API or dashboard so your team can automate onboarding decisions.
