Section 1: Account Check
This section shows if the account details you have searched match a valid bank account. You will receive one of three results:
| Result | What does this mean? |
| Match | The account details you provided match to an existing bank account. |
| No Match | The account details you provided do not match to an existing bank account. We suggest you exercise caution in these circumstances and fully review your file for any risk indicators. |
| Unable to Check |
Unable to Check means that the bank account exists but Experian do not hold the data and therefore cannot confirm the ownership. This means a definitive response cannot be given. It could be because Experian do not hold ownership data for this bank or that the account is on old terms with their bank and therefore we do not have consent on this particular account due to its age. We suggest you exercise caution in these circumstances and fully review your file for any risk indicators. You will not be charged if you receive this kind of result. |
