Name Verification Using Bulk Upload

POST /requester/v1.0/cop-iban-check/bulk-account-verifications
  • The API allows us to upload a list of payee details in a file (.xls or .xlsx or .csv) and name verification check will be done against each row provided.
  • The payee details have to be uploaded using this template to do name verification.
  • The data in the file will undergo a validation check prior to name verification check.
  • The files with no validation failures will be processed further for confirmation of payee details.
  • If the file has validation failures, it will not be processed.
  • The row/rows with validation failures will be displayed in the JSON response and the response error report will be generated automatically in the swagger page.
