Certos Verify Account

Overview

Verify Account is a service from Early Warning Services, LLC, whose Certos network brings together shared intelligence and analytics contributed by participating financial institutions; Certos is a trademark of Early Warning Services^[29]. Verify Account confirms in real time whether an external account is open and valid and whether the information a consumer provides matches the authorised users^[29].

The Advanced response reports whether the account is open, closed or overdrawn, and account owner authentication returns a yes or no answer with a match score indicating whether an individual owns or is authorised to transact on the account^[29]. Certos states that the service supports Nacha’s WEB debit account validation requirement^[29]. Related Certos products assess recipient-account risk before wires are sent and evaluate deposit risk^[29].

Because the data comes from contributing banks, Verify Account does not require the consumer to log in to their bank, unlike open-banking tools. The product page does not state how many institutions contribute data, the share of US accounts covered, delivery methods or pricing.
