REDUCE FRAUD WITH ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP AUTHENTICATION
Our Account Ownership Authentication (AOA) tool enables real-time verification of bank account ownership. This innovative solution utilizes a secure Web services API to seamlessly integrate bank account ownership verification within your system, allowing you to identify invalid account numbers, closed accounts, risky customers, and discrepancies in account holders.
By instantly determining the authorization status of individuals or businesses to transact on an account, the AOA tool aids in mitigating payment fraud. It rapidly matches account owners and numbers and verifies if an account is open and in good standing. This verification process aids businesses in reducing unauthorized payments, detecting mistyped direct deposits, and identifying potentially risky customers.
FASTER PAYMENTS AND DISBURSEMENTS
Our financial aggregation tool instantly validates customer and business bank accounts, eliminating the need for prenotes and enabling real-time matching of account owner information. This expedites disbursements and payments while ensuring accurate transfers through up-to-date data and enhanced security. The tool validates checking or savings account ownership, verifies account status, and supports both business and consumer accounts as a faster alternative to prenotes.
