How address e-verification works
Address e-verification extracts an individual’s name and address automatically from documents submitted during identity verification and deploys database-matching to verify them.
Why use automated address verification?
Activating automated address verification effortlessly streamlines your customer onboarding. You no longer require your customer to upload a separate proof of address and by verifying documents first, you can easily prove the customer currently lives at that address.
Automated address verification enables businesses to simplify the customer onboarding journey and reduce the risk of fraud.
