Contact Data Verification
Validate addresses, names, emails and phone numbers with precision before identity verification.
- Address: Standardize and transliterate global addresses
- Email: Verify emails down to the mailbox level
- Phone: Confirm phone numbers are active and callable
- Name: Validate names against extensive global reference datasets
By validating contact data prior to identity verification, Melissa avoids the unreliable “fuzzy matching” shortcuts commonly used by other providers.

- Email: Check emails down to the mailbox level for accuracy.
- Phone: Confirm that phone numbers are active and callable.

Proof of Address
Link a person’s name to a specific address to confirm proof of address in real time. This service is available in select countries and performs a streamlined check to verify residency at the provided address. This lightweight, efficient process significantly enhances fraud prevention.
Advanced Identity Verification
eIDV: Cross-reference a person’s name and address with their national ID, date of birth, phone and email for comprehensive electronic identity verification. This process ensures high-confidence identity validation and helps prevent underage transactions or consumer-not-present activities.
2+2 Verification: This advanced eIDV method uses two independent data sources to validate two pieces of information. It matches identity details against trusted sources, such as electoral rolls, credit records or court data, for enhanced accuracy.
Mobile Doc Scan: Securely verify identity documents to ensure they are genuine and untampered. Customers can submit their identity information anytime, supported by biometric facial recognition, advanced document type recognition and a robust document onboarding portal. The Business Portal further simplifies workflows, enabling businesses to review and approve submissions with ease.
Watchlist Screening
Screen individuals against sanctions lists, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) and globally restricted party watchlists to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. With frequent updates in real-time environments, you can rely on accurate and recent data for every screening. Stay informed and compliant with our comprehensive and dynamic watchlist monitoring.
