Overview
The Account Verification Service (AVS) introduced by Arab National Bank (ANB) is designed to streamline the verification of account details for corporate clients, ensuring accuracy by validating information such as IBAN, National ID, and Debtor BIC before any transaction is processed, thereby minimizing the risk of payment errors and enhancing financial operations. Clients have the option to use Bulk AVS for verifying multiple accounts simultaneously by submitting a CSV file, making it ideal for businesses with high transaction volumes, or Single AVS for individual account verifications, which provides a quick and efficient solution with immediate feedback on account validity.
Why AVS?
