Integrate verification into applications to higher education

  1. During their UCAS application process, applicants are automatically provided with two codes.
  2. At this point they also provide consent for banks to check their status.
  3. They input these codes remotely to prove their eligibility for a student bank account.
  4. Banks then verify these codes with UCAS to ensure they’re genuine applicants.
  5. You'll receive the data by API – real-time access to an applicant's status.
