Frequently asked questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about bank account verification.

Where does the data come from?

The data is provided by many banks and finance providers across the UK. When a customer provides us with a company number and their bank details, we are able to perform instant checks to verify that those bank details are associated with that company.

How does the Bank Validation tool work?

The Bank Validation tool performs a mathematical check to let you know if the sort code and account number you’ve been provided are legitimate.

What is the difference between Validation and Verification?

Validation uses an algorithm to determine if a sort code or account number exists, but does not let you know if that sort code or account number actually belongs to the company who has provided it.

Verification takes this a step further and checks the Creditsafe database for a match on the sort code or account number and tells you if the bank details actually belong to the company, so the user can be assured that they are sending their money to the correct entity, and not a random bank account.
