The challenge
To deliver straightforward client onboarding experiences.
Any FCA-regulated party can apply to access the Open Banking network, so thorough and comprehensive verification checks are paramount, ensuring that customers’ financial data remains protected.
Open Banking needed a technology partner to deliver straightforward client onboarding experiences for their third-party developers who wanted to gain access to the Open Banking network. This is whilst providing complete verification checks to ensure the highest level of security was met.
Why NorthRow?
A partner to fully manage enhanced due diligence.
NorthRow worked with Open Banking to deliver an identity verification solution that met their demands and particular security and customer requirements. The solution digitally transforms its onboarding, monitoring, and verification processes.
To accelerate the onboarding of TTPs clients, NorthRow’s single-point solution performs real-time and automated identity verification on both individuals and corporate entities.
The benefits
Speeding up validation times for smoother onboarding.
Alongside the automated verification solution, NorthRow provides a fully managed, low-tech service for enhanced due diligence, including everything from face-to-face and online video calls to check that faces match documents; address validation through the mail; manual identity document validation; plus other enhanced due diligence, where needed.
Open Banking can continually monitor its TPP developers with NorthRow’s single-point solution, receiving alerts to any changes in their clients’ risk status, significantly improving security and reducing business risk.
“NorthRow has been very easy to work with; they have listened, and their approach is professional, transparent and consultative. Their ability to deliver a bespoke solution that combines automated identity checks with the added security of face-to-face verification made them the obvious choice.”
What now?
Thorough checks using multiple steps.
The data provided by Open Banking will enable developers to harness technology that allows individuals and businesses to share their financial records held by their banks with third parties.
NorthRow’s robust approach to validation ensures that a thorough check is made using multiple steps to ensure that the process is comprehensive while remaining low touch. Working with Open Banking is the latest confirmation of NorthRow’s leadership in providing the highest levels of identity verification.
