Electronic Verification
IDU will verify the identity of 3.5 billion individuals within the APAC region. All from one single platform.
The majority of Data Zoo’s data sources are derived directly from government agencies. Data Zoo realises that not all data sources are perfect and adopts a proactive approach to working with Government bodies or agencies and our suppliers to continually improve the quality and accuracy of the data received.
The Data Zoo IDU Solution ensures eIDV and KYC conditions are met and an individual’s identity is validated and correct.
Electronic verification as per the FATF and APG provisions requires financial institutions verify a customer’s identity (DOB, full name and/or address) from independent and reliable data sources.
Another critical consideration is the risk profiling that is required as part of the customer onboarding process (PEP Sanctions Watch List Screening).
- Verification of an individual’s Full Name, DOB and government ID document number and, if available, a person’s living address.
- Electronic verification of individual’s details against multiple reliable and independent data sources held and accessed by Data Zoo
- Customised matching rules
- Screening of an individual’s information against PEP (Politically Exposed Person) and Sanctions Watchlists.

Ongoing Due Diligence
The concept of data ‘recency’, whereby the age and update frequency of data needs to be considered when incorporating data as part of a customer due diligence decision process.
In certain circumstances, customers may need to be re-verified or additional information required.
Conducting ongoing due diligence on the business relationship and scrutiny of transactions undertaken throughout the course of that relationship to ensure that the transactions being conducted are consistent with the institution’s knowledge of the customer, their business and risk profile, including, where necessary, the source of funds
With our Global Screening solution (PEP and Sanctions) we have the ability to provide batch processing of existing and pre-screened customers.
Pre-screened customers can be “whitelisted” as individuals that have come through the exception process but have been authenticated as not being relevant to your customer record.
