Life Cycle

When you want to guarantee the owner of a bank account there are a variety of ways to verify. At Devengo, we provide a simple process where you’re able to ensure ownership of it.

Everything starts with a simple POST request.

But before that, it's important to note that all this happens asynchronously. Yep, that means that when you send your POST request, our response only implies that the account holder verification has been accepted, and in this response, you will receive the account holder verification's ID that you will be able to match seconds later with the notifications you will receive every time your account holder verification enters a new state.

States of an account holder verification

Created

The initial state of any holder verification is created. Before its creation Devengo checks that all the provided information is syntactically valid (well-formatted IBANs and recipients).
So your holder verification has passed that first filter, congrats! However, the holder verification process has not started yet.

Interestingly, with this event, you will receive the holder verification's ID and the selected holder verification counterparty.
