Overview

Decentro's validate bank account can be used for multiple use-cases.

• Pre-disbursement check: validate a bank account before disbursing funds or setting up a NACH mandate to the beneficiary to avoid any operational overheads or bad experience.
• Risk check: validate a bank account to check at the time of refunds or even payouts to ensure it belongs to them and avoid any misrepresentation.
• Account validation: validate a bank account and establish a relationship with a user on the platform to establish the source of funds in investment use-cases.

Decentro provides the below capabilities to check if a bank account is valid or invalid.

• Penny drop: this allows any platform to use Decentro's capability to validate a bank account by doing a 1 INR payout to the beneficiary. This capability can be used to validate any bank account which has activated IMPS at their end is available with almost all banks in India.
• Pennyless: this allows any platform to use Decentro's capability to validate a bank account without any transfer to the beneficiary. This capability can be used to validate any bank account which has activated IMPS at their end and is available with most of the leading banks in India.
• Bulk Validate Bank Account: this allows any platform to use Decentro's capability to validate a bank account by doing a 1 INR payout to the beneficiary in bulk without having to integrate APIs. This capability can be used to validate multiple bank accounts through a simple excel sheet.
