Verity®

Powerful Identity Validation to Prevent Fraud

Businesses trust Verity as an effective quality control measure to ensure the accuracy of an individual's self-reported information and block fraudsters.

Verity helps:

  • Market research companies to identify respondents that provide false personal information in an attempt to take a survey
  • Online job sites to prevent fraudulent inquiries for posted employment opportunities
  • Medical-related websites to validate physicians and other healthcare professionals
  • Alcohol and tobacco companies to verify the age of website users
  • Financial institutions to validate reported account information against known offline data sources
  • Any online business that needs to authenticate the identity of its visitors

How it works:

Verity reduces fraud by confirming the accuracy of an individual’s self-reported data against well-known databases that specialize in consumer demographics

These databases seamlessly integrate billions of records across thousands of databases.

Leveraging this information, Verity validates the accuracy of a person’s name, address and other demographics.

Validation Sources Include:

  • Address Validation and Type – Postal specifications
  • Bankruptcy – historical case filings
  • Change of Address – National Change of Address file maintained by the USPS
  • Death records
  • Electronic Directory Assistance
  • High Risk Addresses
  • Property Deed & Tax Assessor Data
  • Residential Telephone Directory
    …and numerous others.

Clients are furnished with a unique global survey respondent ID for each validated respondent. This Verity ID, or VID™ can provide broad insight into online survey participation among other Verity clients, giving a better sense of individual survey respondent behaviors, possible fraudulence, and more.

Verity can be used during user-registration or data-validation, and can be real-time or batch processed depending on the needs of your business.

V-Score

Verity includes our proprietary, easy-to-use, six-point scoring system called V-Score. Each score enables you to determine whether it is appropriate to ACCEPT or REJECT individuals based on the degree to which self-reported demographics match third-party data.

In addition to a V-Score, Verity provides normalized data. Combined together, the V-Score and normalized data provide the intelligence needed to make decisions on how to treat questionable or fraudulent individuals.
