All users require basic verification
All users must complete our basic verification to protect them from fraud and ensure that we operate within government regulations. For US users, this endpoint is all that is required to complete all proper Know Your Customer checks:
- Sanctions Screening
- Politically Exposed Person Screening
- Identity Verification
- Social Security Verification
- Fraud Risk Scoring
Since non-US residents do not have a social security number, an additional verification step is required via the Document Verification endpoint.
Recommended UI for basic verification
We recommend collecting the inputs for this endpoint via two separate screens, grouped as follows:
Screen #1:
- Address
- Street 1 (required)
- Street 2 (optional)
- Country
- State
- City
- Postal Code
Screen #2
- First Name
- Last Name
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number (For US users only)
Don't forget to include the sessionKey created at the start of the user flow
The sessionKey parameter must be included to ensure we link all of the session data into one check. This helps us avoid false positives, which helps you increase conversion rates.
