Smoother onboarding and compliance

Address Match checks and verifies a user’s address against official data sources to confirm accuracy and legitimacy. It helps businesses reduce fraud, meet KYC requirements, and avoid errors in legal or financial processes by ensuring the address provided matches a valid and real location.

Whether you’re verifying residency, confirming identity, or performing due diligence, Address Match improves the quality of your data and strengthens every part of your workflow.

How it works

Once a user submits their address, Address Match checks it against trusted UK postal and credit reference databases. It looks for exact matches and known address variations, returning a verified status and relevant metadata within seconds.

The system also highlights inconsistencies or potential fraud risks, like non-existent postcodes, recently vacant properties, or address mismatches with other customer records.

Here’s an example output:

{
  "submitted_address": "12 King Street, Manchester, M1 4HT",
  "match_status": "verified",
  "address_standardised": "12 King St, Manchester M1 4HT",
  "risk_flag": false,
  "timestamp": "2025-04-14T13:32:00Z"

This gives your team immediate confirmation that the address exists, is valid, and can be confidently tied to the individual.

Accurate onboarding and compliance

Address Match is a vital part of any identity verification process. It supports AML, KYC, and FCA compliance by confirming a user’s declared residency. It also improves data quality by standardising formatting and flagging suspicious or incorrect entries.

From legal document processing to financial eligibility checks, having the correct address data prevents costly errors and improves customer trust.

Why address validation matters

Incorrect addresses slow down processes, create compliance risks, and lead to unnecessary manual review. More importantly, an invalid or inconsistent address can be a red flag for fraud or identity theft.

With Address Match, you ensure that every record begins with verified, reliable data. It reduces friction, improves trust, and helps your business stay compliant at every stage of the customer journey.
