Built for Regulatory Reality, Not Best-Case Scenarios

CIP is your first line of defense in the customer lifecycle. By validating identity information at onboarding with LexisNexis, Experian, or both, and escalating checks when risk is detected, CIP prevents fraudulent accounts, strengthens KYC/BSA compliance, and reduces downstream operational burden across disputes and monitoring.

Cleaner Programs, Fewer Bad Accounts

Dispute Advantage enforces Reg E and Reg Z requirements directly in the workflow so compliance is never left to memory or manual tracking. Deadlines, notices, and outcomes are system-driven, applied consistently across teams, and preserved with a complete audit trail. Compliance is enforced by design, not dependent on individual judgment.

What You Get with ID Advantage

Industry-Trusted Data Providers

Use data providers individually – or both in tandem – to capture and verify name, address, DOB, SSN, documentation, risk indicators, and identity match confidence.

Out-of-Wallet (OOW) Questions

Automatically trigger knowledge-based authentication when initial checks show uncertainty or elevated fraud signals—helping confirm the true identity of the applicant.

Set Your Own Preferences

Define your own onboarding rules, refer criteria, and provider combinations to match your program’s risk tolerance and regulatory obligations.

Automated Checks and Validation

Identity data is validated automatically, ensuring required fields are captured correctly and KYC/BSA obligations are met before account activation.
