How database matching works

Once address database checking is activated, a screen in your review flow produces instant results of database checks. All results of the matches and the databases used are shown in your Customer Due Diligence (CDD) report.

address database checks pass

A PASS result explained:

Indicates that there was a full match for 1+1 verification returned from the database checks. (i.e. a name and address was matched against one or more database sources).

Selecting the result will provide details on the database results, including:


(a) which information matched/did not match.
(b) which databases were used.

address database checks alert

An ALERT result explained:

In address database matching, the name and address provided by the customer confirm that they are who they claim they are – further strengthening a business’s protection from fraud. When no match is returned from the database checks, your team can decide the best course of action and customise your process to take next steps based on your requirements.

Improve the degree of fraud protection for your business, whilst making the onboarding process even simpler for your customers.

Frequently asked questions

What are database checks?

Address database checking is a critical component of identity verification services. It involves cross-referencing an individual’s provided address against a comprehensive and up-to-date database of addresses. This process helps in confirming the authenticity of the address details provided by a user. By ensuring that the address exists and matches the details given by the individual, businesses can prevent fraud, enhance customer trust, and comply with regulatory requirements. Our solution accesses a wide range of authoritative databases, providing real-time verification to support the integrity of your verification processes.

For example, AML regulations require that banks and other financial institutions that issue a credit or allow customers to open deposit accounts follow rules to ensure they are not aiding in money-laundering.

Implementing address database checking as part of your identity verification process offers numerous benefits for your business. Firstly, it significantly reduces the risk of fraud by ensuring that the addresses provided by users are genuine. This verification step is crucial for sectors like finance, e-commerce, and telecommunications, where accurate customer information is essential for service delivery and compliance. Additionally, it streamlines the onboarding process, enhancing the user experience by quickly verifying addresses, thus accelerating the registration and checkout processes. Moreover, compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations is strengthened, protecting your business from potential legal penalties and reputational damage.
