Bank Account Verification
Bank account verification is a process used by businesses and financial institutions to ensure that a bank account is valid, active, and belongs to the person claiming ownership of the account. This process is crucial for minimizing fraud, ensuring compliance with financial regulations, and establishing trust in financial transactions.
First, the user uploads a bank statement or a check, from which the account number and IFSC are extracted using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Then, the Variable Penny Drop API is called. The user enters the amount deposited into their account on the front end, and the Verify Amount API is called to confirm the transaction. In this process, the only change from the previous method is transitioning from the standard Penny Drop API to the Variable Penny Drop API.
