Check Verification API

The Check Verification API allows clients to utilize multiple verification methods to reduce ACH and check returns. Using both ATM/NCN and ForeWarn Validation gives clients the security of knowing their payments are valid. Clients utilizing the Check Verification API will be able to identify bad check writers and verify account validity in real-time to reduce non-administrative ACH and check returns.
