Instant Bank Verification (IBV)

IBV allows you to instantly verify a consumer’s bank account. With real-time transactional data from over 20,000 financial institutions worldwide, you can receive current bank statements and identity verifications.

IBV can be used for the following:

  • Automated replacement to accept bank statements
  • Eliminate need for emailed or faxed bank statements
  • Eliminate fraudulent bank statements
  • Assess risk of applicant’s ability to repay a loan
  • Verify income and bank accounts
  • Verify current and available account balances
  • Verify SSN/SIN
  • Verify address and phone number
  • Discover additional financial obligations and loans

IBV allows lenders to make quicker loan decisions across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.


Manual Bank Verification (MBV)

Using proprietary data from a large network of financial institutions, Manual Bank Verification offers lenders a solution to confirm banking information before extending loans or initiating an ACH debit.

With better coverage, better data, and the guarantee of manual verification, this solution:

  • Improves successful deposit rates
  • Evaluates a consumer’s ability to pay
  • Reduces overall return rates and costs
  • Verifications account and balance information
  • Improves the success rates of ACH
  • Eliminates administration, account not found, and account closed returns
  • Meets compliance requirements with NACHA thresholds for fatal return

Plus, when you upgrade to MBV’s premium level, you can utilize direct, 3-way calls between the consumer, their financial institution, and an MBV representative to ensure the highest degree of verification.

Additional benefits of MBV include:

  • Unlimited verification attempts that won’t harm consumer credit
  • Quick data returns (usually within 24 hours)

Bank Account Verify (BAV) Advantage

BAV Advantage utilizes two proprietary databases of more than 150 million consumer records and 1.5 billion ACH and check transactions. This solution lets you get a fuller picture of consumer credit history while verifying their banking information.

  • Short-term installment lending
  • Buy-here-pay-here auto financing
