How it Works

Alex’s washing machine leaks while he is at work one day, causing a flood in his home. He makes a claim with his insurance provider, SafeHome, to repair the flooring.

  •  Alex chooses ACH to receive the funds.
  •  SafeHome uses Verify Account to validate that the account belongs to Alex and he is authorized to transact on it.
  •  The National Shared DatabaseSM Resource – which contains bank-contributed account and ownership data – makes it possible for SafeHome to validate the account before processing the payment.
  •   Alex’s account is verified and SafeHome issues an ACH credit.

Alex doesn't have to wait for a check to be mailed. He's quickly able to make his home comfortable again.

What it solves

Verify Account helps you mitigate transaction fraud by providing real-time validation of user-provided accounts. Use it to quickly and confidently determine whether an account is open and valid – while ensuring the user truly is who they claim to be.
