Bank Account Verification
Confirm Bank Account Ownership Before Money Moves
Shufti verifies bank accounts across account linking, payouts, withdrawals, direct debits, refunds, and beneficiary changes, creating an audit-ready record for every verification.
Verification Coverage for Account and Payout Risk
How Shufti's Bank Account Verification Works Differently
Link Only Accounts the Real Owner Controls
Weak account ownership checks let a fraudster link a bank account they do not control. Shufti checks the applicant's identity and the account holder name together before the link is approved.
Identity checks and account checks run on the same platform rather than through separate vendors, so a name mismatch and an account mismatch are never reviewed apart from each other.
Stop Payout Redirection Before Funds Move
Account takeover lets fraudsters change payout details, add a new beneficiary or redirect funds to an account they control. Shufti requires step-up biometric re-authentication with liveness before payout or withdrawal details change.
Shufti's liveness detection carries this independent conformance result, defending the re-authentication step against deepfake, replay and injection attacks at the exact moment payout or withdrawal details are edited.
Screen Every Account Before Payment Clears
Fintechs, banks, marketplaces, payment providers and platforms need sanctions, PEP, watchlist and adverse media screening before a payment or payout is approved. Shufti screens the customer and the beneficiary together, not as separate checks.
Ongoing Monitoring re-screens customers and beneficiaries on an ongoing basis, so a risk status change after onboarding is not missed.
One Evidence Trail Across Every Channel
Verification requested through different channels, app, web, API, support or partner-led, can produce inconsistent records. Shufti captures every check through a single API and SDK, configured through Journey Builder.
Case Management routes flagged events for review, so compliance and audit teams work from one record instead of reconciling separate logs across vendors.
