Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Source of Funds check?

A source of funds check is designed to confirm the origin of funds in an account. This check determines which amounts are salary, income or other.

Is Open Banking Secure?

Open banking is secure through the use of APIs and requires customer consent to share their data with financial institutions. This is safer and more easily authenticated than traditional methods like manual document checks or uploading PDFs.

Is Open Banking Suitable For Clients Overseas?

Open banking is used across the world, and international banks already support this software. This makes client onboarding simpler and also allows for more thorough compliance checks into SOF and SOW.
