That’s why one bank account validation service makes sense. SHARE [![twitter](https://www.curvedental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/April%202022/twitter-new-logo.png?width=20&name=twitter-new-logo.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=https://knowledge.accelitas.com/blog/different-businesses-different-painpoints)   Anyone managing ACH payments understands that one size does not fit all when it comes to bank account validation. The demands on one market sector may not be the same as another. But take a step back and you can see there are five common pain points in most BAV use cases, and chances are you’re struggling with at least one of them. - Complex Validation Process When data isn’t easily accessible, customers must wait for bank account verification and approval, prolonging onboarding and causing frustration. -  Friction for CustomersLong and complicated authentication processes can lead to consumer abandonment and loss of reputation. - Potential Fraud & Errors Incorrect account details are a common ACH issue, resulting in unreliable payments, unhappy customers, and potential fraud. - Lack of Real-Time Solution Companies that don’t enlist automated real-time BAV methods operate at a disadvantage to more tech-driven competitors. #### **Smarter bank account validation for each sector** Each business needs to consider how increased ACH transaction volume presents both opportunity and challenge, and how market-specific solutions address those pain points. 1. #### **In-Person Financial Services/Storefront Lending** Pain points: *Need for Real-Time Solution/Potential Fraud & Errors* Organizations relying on complex and inefficient manual processes for bank account verification incur increased costs. Automated real-time methods to verify bank accounts address this. Validating bank accounts up-front helps prevent fraudsters who do not intend to pay back their loans and can also help address those innocent “fat finger” entry errors common to lengthy bank routing and account numbers. 2. #### **Payroll** *Pain Points: Costs/Complex validation processes* New employees may face long and complex application processes that prolong onboarding, delay initial wages payments, and cause frustration. Payroll processors relying on legacy bank account verification take on the increased costs and dissatisfaction with the inefficient process. 3. #### ***Payment Processors and Gateways** Pain points: Costs/Need for Real-Time solution* Legacy bank account verification processes can be lengthy and complex, resulting in both hard and soft costs for ACH payment processors. Automated, real-time solutions to verify bank accounts are needed to optimize both the time and expense of ACH payments. 4. #### F**intechs** *Pain points: Need for Real-Time Solution/Friction for customers* Bank account verification solutions can be riddled with challenges related to account coverage and delays in receiving timely bank account verification checks. Most bank account verification processes cause unnecessary friction, leading to longer onboarding times and customer drop-off. 5. #### **Billers (e.g. Utilities, Automotive, Insurance, Rent)** *Pain Points: Costs/Complex Validation Processes* As billers continue to move away from card payments to ACH payments to reduce their costs, optimizing their bank account validation costs has become a prime focus. Optimizing complex bank account validation processes may result in prolonged onboarding and cause frustration and abandonment. 6. #### **Collections** *Pain Points: Costs/Complex Validation Processes* Collection agencies are focused on managing high operational costs. The best-in-class agencies optimize their bank account validation process to minimize the hard and soft costs of ACH payments. Lengthy and complex bank validation processes can impact the effectiveness of a collection agent securing a valid bank account for payment. #### **Ai Validate Bank Data delivers a timely solution** As a fintech leader in machine learning and predictive analytics, Accelitas has developed ACH solutions that address common pain points and optimize bank account validation across a variety of sectors. - ****Comprehensive Coverage**** Ai Validate BD instantly validates 100% of U.S. bank accounts, significantly reducing the most common Nacha return codes (R03 and R04).
