Checks

What is a Check ?

The most basic concept in Dotfile is the Check. A check can be associated with a verification type that applies to the entity (company or individual). Examples include ID verification Check, Document Check (collection of a document file), and AML screening Check.

Checks are always tied to an Entity (either an Individual or a Company) and therefore, to one Case. Every Check has a Type and a Status.

Different types of checks include:

• Identity verification checks : ID verification Liveness check, or Automated ID document check
• AML screening check: Using AML screening tools such as ComplyAdvantage or World-Check.
• Document check: Collection of document files
• Company monitoring check: Instant monitoring of official company data updates, such as changes in ownership structure or business address
• Online reputation check: Web scraping to verify the entity's online presence and reputation
• Electronic signature: Collection of electronically signed document files

Checks Statuses

Checks will progress through statuses before reaching the step where a decision is needed.

You can either make your decision manually or rely on a third-party provider for some checks (AML, Identity Verification).

Here are the different statuses of a check:

• In progress: The check is created and waiting for data collection
• Processing: The submitted data is being automatically processed
• Need review: The check needs to be reviewed manually
• Approved: The check has been approved
• Rejected: The check has been rejected
• Expired: The check has expired
