Level 2: Automated Validation

Our automated validation process uses multiple third party sources to reconcile and validate critical information that has been provided by a supplier during profile activation or at the point a supplier makes a change to critical information in an existing profile.

Some of the third party sources we use during our automated validation process include the Dun & Bradstreet database, the Internal Revenue Service TIN Matching database, the U.S. Postal Service address database, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) database, and various bank industry databases focused on validating routing codes and bank account number structures.

Level 3: Interactive Validation

Our interactive validation process takes place when a Vendorin validation specialist initiates a call to a profile holder's trading partner. We record this validation call then we send a validation survey in an attempt to obtain both verbal and written confirmation of the trading partner relationship.

Level 4: Recurring Validation

Recurring validation is the process of repeatedly applying our physical, automated, and interactive validation methods during the life of each supplier profile on the Vendorin Network so you can do business with confidence.
