# Verification requests

Verifications are ad hoc or routine data requests that can be fetched to improve the accuracy of data capture and gather additional information for decision making. Verifications can be performed on mandates and collections registered with BankTech to retain their verification meta-data or simply on a straight through processing basis if needed.

We have provided a few basic methods to perform verification:

* [Validating bank accounts](verification-requests/validating-bank-accounts)
* [Verifying bank accounts](verification-requests/verifying-a-bank-account)
* [Verifying identity numbers](verification-requests/verifying-an-identity-number)
