Level 1: Physical Validation

Our physical validation process takes place when a Vendorin validation specialist initiates a call to a company attempting to activate a profile on the Vendorin Network or attempting to make a change to critical information in an existing profile. We record this validation call then we send a validation survey to ensure that we've obtained both verbal and written validation covering all critical information within the Vendorin Profile.

Level 2: Automated Validation

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

Some of the third party sources we use during our automated validation process include Dun & Bradstreet, the IRS TIN Matching service, the U.S. Postal Service address database, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) database, and various banking industry resources 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 profile on the Vendorin Network so you can do business with confidence.
