It's very common for a fintech to need to validate informations provided by it's users for compliance reasons. We at Bit Capital care a lot about that and thinking of it we provide a way for you to retrieve informations from a lot of different sources about a certain taxId in a single request. This helps you make better decisions about which client you should approve or not and protect your business from fraud and money laundering.

🚧

Best Practice

The field motherName must be the same as found in the Bureau. We have a lot of bottleneck at this point if this is filled with maiden name of persons's mother.
In cases the value in the bureau differs from the one in the document, you should open a ticket on our help desk for us to whitelist this specific taxId.
