The following will discuss in detail the advantages of incorporating Compliancely’s highly scalable Real-time TIN Matching solutions to help identify, validate, and scale up your KYC compliance protocols.

 

Understanding the role of TIN matching in lending

 

TIN matching, otherwise known as TIN Lookup or TIN verification, is an essential identity verification check wherein the tax details of the individual or entity, along with the official name are verified per the IRS data lists. This is to ensure that the details furnished by the profile are in accordance with the IRS records.

 

This check allows lending businesses to understand the following.

 

• Check if the borrower’s profile is in good standing with the IRS
• Check if the tax details provided by the profile are accurate
• Check if the tax details are recent and not historic
• Check if the tax details claimed by the individual or entity are the real identities of the claimant

 

The above perspectives will be helpful in determining the initial risk factors of a profile. Think of TIN matching as a basic due diligence check you conduct to assess the risk of your borrower (because it really is just that).

 

However, it is essential to note that TIN Matching alone will not be enough to conclude if a profile is credible and worth the risk. Due diligence protocol must be followed adjacent to your TIN Matching practice.
