Reduce your “rejected transaction” costs

Save on your transaction costs by reducing the number of transactions that are returned or rejected due to incorrect account details.

Our automatic CDV (check-digit verification) will pre-validate bank accounts to determine if account numbers are consistent with bank and branch validations.  This aspect of the service runs on our platform and is free to all bank account verification (BAV) clients.

The BAV service then submits and verifies details with the banks to significantly reduce the risk of setting up debit orders against invalid or dormant accounts, or making payments into incorrect accounts.

Bank account verification is done by providing a positive or negative response to the following information:

  • Account number is valid
  • ID number/company registration number matches
  • Initials and surname/company name matches
  • The cellphone number registered on the account
  • The Email address registered on the account
  • Current or savings account is open
  • Account has been open for more than three months
  • Account accepts debits
  • Account accepts credits.

BAV is available as a batch or real-time service and can be integrated into your systems via our API.

You can use BAV as a pre-paid service with monthly or as-needed top-ups, or you can apply for monthly billing.

We can save you money.

Let us show you how…

How it works

Load account details

Load the account details to be checked on our secure Web platform, with a file upload or via our API. These will first be checked with our CDV service.

Submission to bank

The account details are then sent to the banks for verification – either as a batch or in real-time, depending on the options you selected.

Review the results

Verify that all the details are correct on the accounts and correct/remove any invalid accounts.

We pre-validate any account details you upload using our free check-digit validation service, and will then charge you highly-competitive rates for each BAV query. Using BAV will save on your costs of having transactions returned or rejected when doing EFT payment or running debit orders.
