Bank Account Number Verification - BANV/BANVR - AHV & AVSR - Rapid Pay Collect

Reduce your “rejected transaction” Costs.

Save on your transaction costs by reducing the number of transactions that are returned or rejected due to incorrect account details.

Our automatic CDV (check-digit verification) will pre-validate bank accounts to determine if account numbers are consistent with bank and branch validations.  This aspect of the service runs on our platform and is free to all bank account verification (BANV) clients.

The BANV service then submits and verifies details with the banks to significantly reduce the risk of setting up debit orders against invalid or dormant accounts, or making payments into incorrect accounts.

Bank Account Number Verification (BANV/BANVR - AHV, AVSR), is done by providing a positive or negative response to the following information:


  • Account number is valid;
  • ID number/company registration number matches;
  • Initials and surname/company name matches;
  • The cellphone number registered on the account;
  • The Email address registered on the account;
  • Current or savings account is open;
  • Account has been open for more than three months;
  • Account accepts debits;
  • Account accepts credits.



BAV is available as a batch or real-time service and can be integrated into your systems via our API.

You can use BANV as a pre-paid service with monthly or as-needed top-ups, or you can apply for monthly billing.
