Validate Bank Account (Hybrid)

This page gives you an overview of the hybrid based bank account validation capability of Decentro.

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.

This capability allows you to automatically validate a bank account where Decentro will perform the validation of penniless method first and if there is no response from penniless, we will perform the validation in penny drop in a synchronous manner.

Below are some of the major benefits of using this capability.

  • Real-time validation: get instant status of the bank account validation without having to verify offline.
  • Account details: get to know whom the account belongs to and if its active.
  • Super-fast validation: get your response in near-real-time on most of the major banks in India.
  • Better Response : A hybrid approach enhances penniless flow utilization by implementing a fallback penny drop mechanism, ensuring a higher success rate and improved reliability.
