Introduction Address Verification

Address verification is the process of providing a valid 13 digit ID number and we return the latest, highest scoring, residential address on file.

This linking of an address involves various components, such as the street name, building number, suburb, town, province, and postal code, to ensure the address parameters comply with legislative requirements.

Why Your Business Needs Address Verification Screening

By retrieving accurate and up-to-date addresses, businesses can reduce errors, improve delivery success rates, and optimize logistical operations. Validated addresses help prevent costly mistakes, such as sending products or correspondence to incorrect or undeliverable locations, which could lead to delays, customer dissatisfaction, or returns.

Address verification also enhances data accuracy in customer databases, ensuring that you are targeting the right locations for marketing campaigns, promotions, and service offerings. It helps businesses comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) and South African Reserve Bank (SARB) rules, by ensuring that addresses meet necessary criteria.
