What is Instant Account Verification (IAV)?
For money to successfully change hands, the recipient’s bank account must be open and valid. Sounds simple, right? But the current verification process is so antiquated, slow, and unreliable that failed payments cost the global economy over $100 billion each year.
Instant account verification or IAV is a process used by businesses to quickly confirm the validity of financial account details. It’s commonly employed during account setup, recurring ACH payments, merchant transactions, and Pay by Bank (bank-based payments). IAV provides near-instant validation of account information, contrasting with slow manual verification processes or deposits.
That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil Verify, a new technology from Orum that determines within 15 seconds whether an account is open and valid before initiating payments.
Verify is a first-of-its-kind innovation, and it covers 100% of U.S.-based consumer and business bank accounts—seamlessly, instantly, and with no involvement needed from the end user.
Why is Orum’s Instant Account Verification The Best Solution?
Our API-based solution – Verify – is completely changing the way the world verifies bank accounts. To understand the difference, let’s briefly review how traditional account verification works and why it’s so clunky.
Businesses have historically used a number of outdated solutions to verify bank accounts:
- Drop a penny or two into an account via ACH and wait 3-5 days to see if it goes through.
- Use historical account data from banks that are batched nightly, and hope that there were no intraday changes like the account being closed or frozen for fraud.
- Put the onus on the end user and force them to manually enter their bank login credentials — an approach that doesn’t work for everyone.
Each of these processes can take days, leading to millions in lost revenue. And traditional Address Verification Service (AVS) covers only 67% of U.S. business bank accounts.
In summary, traditional instant account verification solutions, especially for businesses, are slow, expensive, and antiquated.

Benefits of Instant Business Account Verification
At Orum, we feel strongly that payments are only as safe as the authentication of the recipient’s account. We’re also obsessed about optimizing money movement to reduce the time it takes businesses and consumers to access their money. That’s the driving force behind Verify and its design.
With Verify’s instant bank verification, you’ve confirmed before the payment is initiated that the recipient’s account is open, valid, and ready to receive the funds. Verify uses up-to-the-moment data, 24/7/365, rather than outdated information from the night before that might not reflect an account closing that day.
The whole process is days faster than traditional verification, plus it’s safe, seamless, and frictionless for your customers. You won’t have to ask them to find their bank login credentials. They won’t need to confirm that a micro-deposit did indeed land in their account days later, or figure out which d.b.a. business name they should be looking for.
Instead, Verify just does the job—transforming an industry still plagued by invalid credentials, friction, and fraud.
