Address Verification

Lean's Address Verification product helps businesses comply with KYC/AML regulations in the UAE and allows your customers to easily verify their address via Bank Connection:

• Bank Connection (via Open Banking): Retrieve the registered address directly from your customer's bank account. This can replace the need for a bank account statement to be uploaded as it is an already KYC’d address.

How does Address Verification work?

Bank Connection

For the Bank Connection method, your customer will need to consent and connect their bank account. This will be done via the LinkSDK which will enable your customer to enter their bank credentials to connect their account.

Once successfully connected, you will be able to retrieve the address held by the bank for that customer. We return the address as retrieved from the account and process it to return it with the following breakdown via the Get User Identity API.
