Validate Bank Account (Penniless)
This page gives you an overview of the penniless 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 API allows you to automatically validate a bank account without a penny drop (INR 1) transaction. Decentro recommends using this API before initiating a payout to a beneficiary to ensure the account is valid and belongs to the concerned individual/entity.
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.
Decentro can validate accounts via penniless or a penny-drop to suit your business requirements. We also offer a hybrid model, where you can let us select the method of verification!
