Bank Account Verification
Service Overview
Accurate bank details are essential for payroll processing and any financial transaction. We confirm the account holder's name and the account's active status using the penny-drop method or a direct bank API, so salary never reaches the wrong account.
Confirmation that a bank account exists and belongs to the candidate, protecting payroll from misdirection and fraud.
