What does it do?

This innovative solution enhances transaction security and efficiency in real-time. Before an ACH, e-Check, or check transaction is sent to your financial institution for processing, RVD provides a predictive response, ensuring a higher level of transaction accuracy and security. Utilizing an extensive ACH database, the system performs rigorous verification on each transaction to reduce the risk of payment failures and ensure compliance.

RVD Plus extends these capabilities further by leveraging multiple external retail and financial datasets, offering a more robust spectrum of transaction analysis. It meticulously matches consumer names, verifies known telephone numbers within the database, and provides critical insights such as account age and a timestamp of the most recent activity. Additionally, RVD ensures thorough validation by enabling users to verify routing numbers, a key component in guaranteeing transaction accuracy.

The solution delivers a detailed account history, including cleared transactions and ACH returns, whether paid or unpaid. This helps businesses gain visibility into past transaction performance. An optional OFAC-check can also be integrated into all RVD transactions, adding an extra layer of security and regulatory compliance. The system is tailored for today's dynamic financial environment, aligning with modern consumer payment habits rather than relying on outdated methods.

RVD's product suite—RVD Advantage Lite, RVD, RVD Advantage, and RVD Plus—offers customizable risk parameters to monitor and manage check returns and ACH-related risks effectively. The system also provides decision codes for each transaction:

Accept

Approves the transaction for further processing.
Decline

Flags transactions based on predefined risk parameters.
Warning

Alerts users to review the transaction before proceeding.

Each transaction is supported by historical data, including the last return date and the average time taken by the consumer to resolve the issue. RVD also returns names and telephone numbers of account holders when the data is available, significantly reducing skip tracing costs and enhancing identity verification. This makes RVD a valuable component of comprehensive payment solutions.

The platform’s cost-effective, pay-per-use pricing model ensures affordability, with rates decreasing as transaction volume increases. As a verification-only product, RVD seamlessly integrates into your existing processes without requiring you to change your banking relationship, offering flexibility and ease of implementation.
