IBAN Verification: Understand Who’s Behind the Bank Account.
Verify Bank Ownership in Seconds.
Verifying a user’s bank account is easy. Proving they own it is what really matters. IDnow IBAN Verification checks whether a provided IBAN belongs to the person submitting it with no open banking logins, no complex integrations, just a quick document-based check that strengthens onboarding, boosts compliance and shuts down fraud at the source.
Bank account verification is essential in sectors where financial risk and regulation go hand in hand, from fintech and payments to iGaming and telecoms.
Our solution extracts and verifies ownership data from official account documents like France’s Relevé d’Identité Bancaire (RIB), helping ensure the IBAN matches the user’s declared identity. It’s fast, fraud-resistant and fully compliant with KYC and AML expectations.
