Bank Account Verification API

What is Bank Account Verification?

Bank Account Verification is the automated process of confirming whether a bank account is valid, active, and belongs to the intended account holder. It is a foundational step in payment security, KYC compliance, and digital fraud prevention.

As digital payments and real-time settlements scale across India and globally, verifying bank account details before processing transactions has become essential for any business handling money movement — whether through NEFT, IMPS, UPI, RTGS, or direct bank transfers.

How Bank Account Verification Works

DigiVerification's API follows a three-step verification flow designed for speed, accuracy, and security:

1. Submit — Your system sends account details (account number, IFSC, account holder name) via an API request.
2. Validate — Our API cross-checks the details against banking infrastructure in real time — including penny drop confirmation or name-match verification, depending on the chosen method.
3. Respond — You receive a structured JSON response with verification status, match score, and account validity details within seconds.
