Manual verifications

The following input field entries of mandates and collections can be verified:

• ID number

• Account number

These verifications can be performed in bulk or while a mandate or collection is being created.

Single verification

ID number

IDV (ID Verification) is built into the add mandates and add collections form validation and checks to see if the input field entry is the correct South African ID number length (13 digits). You can also click on Verify to have the number verified against the national registry. This service is live and pay-as-you-use.

Account number

CDV (Check Digit Verification) is available in the add mandates and add collections form. Clicking the Verify button executes the CDV which is an offline and free sense check of the account number, i.e. the account number length matches the type of account for the specified bank. Alternatively, the user can fully verify whether an account is correct and active by clicking on the AVSR (Account Verification Service Real-time) link. This service is live and pay-as-you-use.

Bulk verification

Within the Mandates or Collections views, select the records to be verified by clicking their checkboxes, click on the Bulk actions button and select the Account holder verification option. A modal window will appear that requires you to continue with the verification process. The outcome of these verifications is downloadable once the verification process has been completed.
