Remittance Verification

Verify a recipient's identity before sending a domestic or international money transfer.

The Problem

Millions of dollars are lost every year to remittance fraud — impersonation, wrong-account transfers, and sender deception. Once a transfer is sent, recovery is often impossible. TRUSTTICA's Remittance Verification feature lets senders verify recipient identity before initiating a transfer.

How It Works

  1. 1Navigate to Remittance Verify from your Individual dashboard.
  2. 2Enter the recipient's registered phone number and the transfer amount.
  3. 3TRUSTTICA performs a Stage 1 identity lookup. If the recipient is enrolled and KYC-approved, their risk profile is returned.
  4. 4Review the risk level — low, moderate, high, or unknown.
  5. 5If the risk is acceptable, proceed with your transfer via your preferred payment provider.
  6. 6The verification event is recorded in your Evidence Vault as evidence of due diligence.

Risk Levels Explained

Low Risk

Recipient is enrolled, KYC verified, and has a clean verification history. Safe to proceed.

Moderate Risk

Enrolled but KYC pending, limited history, or no Stage 2 confirmations. Proceed with caution.

High Risk

Incident flags, identity disputes, or multiple no-shows on record. Transfer not recommended.

Unknown

Number not enrolled in TRUSTTICA. Identity cannot be verified. Proceed at your own risk.

What Is and Is Not Shared

  • The lookup returns risk level, enrollment status, and KYC status only.
  • The recipient's full name, address, and ID details are never shared.
  • The recipient is not notified that a lookup was performed.
  • If you proceed with verification, the recipient will receive a Stage 1 identity confirmation request.
Remittance Verification is not a payment service. TRUSTTICA does not initiate or process money transfers. It provides identity assurance that you can use alongside your preferred payment provider.

Supported Scenarios

  • Domestic bank transfers or wire instructions to verified recipients.
  • International remittances via mobile money, wire transfer, or digital wallet.
  • Peer-to-peer payments on third-party apps before sending funds.
  • Marketplace transactions where one party is receiving payment.
