Bank Account
Verification
Low cost, instantaneous results
The Commercial Bank Account Verification service removes this risk associated with loan funding. It validates account ownership and account status in many cases in real time to verify new account information without delaying funding. This reduces losses from inaccurate data and fraudulent account number manipulation.
The account holder name, routing number and account number are first verified against up-to-date information and via a secure financial network for thousands of participating banks. For banks not on the network, a verbal verification is used. The result is a low cost and in most cases an instantaneous verification.

The report tests the title insurance agent license or attorney bar card status and then checks for sanctions, exclusion list matches and derogatory records. Additional data on the company or agent can be added to the report.
