Name Match API

Compare names without losing the context.

Compare names from two records and review any differences. A name match can support your checks, but it does not establish someone's identity on its own.

A CLOSER LOOK

What you can do with Name Match.

See how each feature works.

  1. Two-name comparison

    Send the two names your workflow needs to compare in a single request.

  2. Clear input limits

    The current contract accepts each name as a string between 2 and 200 characters.

  3. Normalised comparison

    Use the provider's documented name-comparison operation rather than writing an exact-text check alone.

  4. Case-level references

    Add a verification reference to tie the result back to the records being reviewed.

  5. Human review where needed

    Route uncertain differences to a person who can consider the surrounding evidence.

FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Take the next step with the right details.

See the documentation for request fields, responses and setup instructions.

  • Check the published inputs, response format and error handling.
  • Keep credentials on your server and collect only authorised data.
  • Confirm provider access and deployment requirements with BankU.

Name comparison supports record review. It does not establish identity, account ownership or the authenticity of the source records.

FROM REQUEST TO REVIEW

A clear path through the process.

  1. Choose the records

    Confirm that both names come from sources your organisation is authorised to use.

  2. Compare the names

    Send the name pair with a reference to the relevant case.

  3. Review differences

    Use the result with other evidence before accepting or rejecting the record.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you get started.

Common questions about Name Match.

Does name match verify a government record?

No. It compares the two names supplied in the request. It does not independently prove the source or ownership of either record.

Can it replace identity verification?

No. Two people may share a name, and one person may appear under different names. Keep the wider identity context.

Should a mismatch automatically reject a customer?

That is a policy decision for your organisation. Your process should account for incomplete records and cases that need manual review.
