The challenges
Before the pandemic, the client operated mostly by going to meet business owners in person to get them signed up for the credit card processing service and would take all their details manually. With COVID 19, face to face meetings became impossible for a time and continue to be less popular than before. So, the client set up an online solution that allows customers to sign themselves up remotely.
As with all processing of financial data and payment applications, anti-money laundering and anti-fraud checks are essential. But these can be lengthy and costly, so it is vital for the client that as much as possible of the customer data they submit is verified at point of entry to save time and money.
Initially the client used Fetchify for postcode lookup and another solution provider for their phone and email validation. They consolidated all of their validation tools over to Fetchify, enjoying its ease of installation to their Formstack forms, its ease of use and the fact that all the validation is controlled in one account. Also, they found Fetchify’s visual confirmation of accurate data – the green tick – appealing and seamless within their application form.
How Fetchify helps
Fetchify is a pioneer in SaaS address lookup and data validation solutions and offers a range of data verification solutions.
The credit card processing business requires accurate customer details in the applications they submit to their financial institution partner in order to allow their customers to take card payments. Fetchify is integrated into their Formstack application form. The client uses UK Postcode Lookup to search and verify postal addresses as well as phone number validation, email address validation and UK bank account validation services.
The client runs further checks and requires more detailed information including copies of bank statements, but the initial verification of bank account details in particular, helps to catch mistakes and ensures applicants don’t enter dummy data.
We use Fetchify because it is very simple to implement. We just dropped the JavaScript codes into Formstack, it’s seamless.
- An easy to install plugin with UK only or international address lookup capability
- Accurate address data updated daily
- Streamlined forms for address entry and data validation
- Real time data validation and visual feedback cues for phone numbers email addresses and bank account details
Results, return on investment and future plans
Using Postcode Lookup and Fetchify’s suite of data validation tools during registration saves the client time and money on the application process of each customer. By ensuring that only real and accurate contact information and banking details are collected, the extensive background checks required for payment processing are more efficient and less likely to be rejected.
With the rise of cashless transactions, the client is developing a new solution allowing small business owners such as nannies, dog walkers, window cleaners etc to accept card payments via an app on their mobile phones. This allows businesses that have traditionally taken cash to continue doing business without needing a full VAT credit card payment machine and printer.
When this new project is launched, the service provided by Fetchify will be even more vital. No matter the size of the customer’s business, whether a sole trader or a larger enterprise, the anti-money laundering etc checks run by financial institutions are still extensive. So it is essential to make the parts of the process that our client can control as seamless as possible to handle the increased traffic smoothly and efficiently.
Fetchify a good partner to have. The products perform well, they are fast, there are no delays and it allows us to engage with our customers more effectively.
