Account Intelligence
Add Account Intelligence to your workflow for real-time bank account availability and ownership verification.
What is Account Intelligence?
Socure Account Intelligence validates bank account information to answer the following questions:
- Does this bank account actually exist?
- Does it belong to the individual or business claiming it?
Account Intelligence is available in two product modules:
| Module | Description | Region support |
|---|---|---|
Account Intelligence: accountintelligence | Quickly confirms whether a bank account is open or closed. | U.S. only |
Account Intelligence Premier: accountintelligencepremier | Provides broader coverage and higher confidence in account-level details, powered by premium data sources. | U.S. only |
With Socure Account Intelligence, you can build fast, accurate, and seamless account validation into your workflows. The solution leverages database cross-referencing, penny-drop verification, and statistical modeling to verify bank accounts and reduce payment risk.
Note:
The penny drop verification includes the descriptor of your company name in the company entry description field and can be amended from time to time via standard support requests:
To ensure that your customers understand how to identify these deposits, we recommend updating any of your own customer support resources to reflect these changes.
