What this API enables

The Deepvue bank account verification API enables organizations to:

Decide before you send money

Screen a beneficiary on account number and IFSC in one call, so a payout never lands on a closed account.

How penny drop verification works

Catch a wrong beneficiary early

Confirm who actually holds the account before a transfer leaves your books, not after it bounces.

Keep an audit trail for compliance

Every check ties back to a bank transaction reference your risk team can reconcile during a review.

Verify against the live banking network

A one-rupee penny drop proves the account is real and reachable today, not just correctly formatted.

Validate the IFSC first

Set your own name-match cutoff

Auto-clear clean matches and route only borderline beneficiary names to a human reviewer.

Validate accounts before payouts and refunds

Confirm beneficiary accounts ahead of disbursals and refunds so transfers do not fail on wrong details.
