Verifications

A borrower verification session represents the question and response flow for an agent to verify the identity of a human who purports to be a particular borrower. For instance, upon receiving a phone call, an agent would initiate a borrower verification, ask the questions to the borrower, and enter their responses. A set of responses are either correct (thus verifying the human as the borrower) or they are incorrect.

The agent is never shown the correct answers, so privacy risks are minimized and socially engineered security attacks are mitigated.

Start verification

Start a borrower verification session. Newly created verifications include randomly selected questions about the borrower. The human must attempt to provide correct answers to these questions in order for the borrower verification to be successful.

To check if a verification can be started now without actually starting a verification, add the query parameter dryRun=true to the URL. If a verification could be started now return successful (204), otherwise return an error response with nextVerificationOkAt indicating when the next verification can start.
