The Tiller Verifications API is divided into three main components: Authentication, Verifications, and Ongoing Monitoring.
Before using the API, clients must authenticate their requests. The authentication service ensures that all interactions with the API are authorized and secure.
The Verifications component is the heart of the API, enabling businesses to perform a variety of checks. These include Address Verification, Background Checks (PEP & Sanctions, Watchlist, and Adverse Media), and UK Bank Account Checks.
Ongoing Monitoring enhances Background Checks by providing continuous updates on an individual’s PEP, sanctions, or adverse media status. This ensures businesses are alerted to compliance risks as soon as they arise.
Authenticate: Begin by authenticating your API client and obtaining a bearer token. This token is required for all subsequent API calls.
Submit a Verification Request: Use the Verifications API to perform compliance checks on an individual. Configure checks and provide the necessary profile details.
Enable Monitoring (Optional): For continuous monitoring of PEP & Sanctions or Adverse Media, include enableOngoingMonitoring: true
in your verification request.
Retrieve Results: Access results directly from the response (synchronous) or poll using the correlation ID (asynchronous).
Manage Monitoring Subscriptions: Use the Ongoing Monitoring endpoints to subscribe to notifications, retrieve results, or unsubscribe when no longer needed.
This API overview serves as your starting point for integrating the Tiller Verifications API into your workflows. For detailed technical documentation and examples, explore the linked sections or contact our support team at support@tillertech.com.
The Verifications API can a variety of checks for customer verification purposes. This section outlines the available check types, the required request structure, and the specific profile details needed for each type of check.

The Tiller Verifications API uses token-based authentication via the OAuth 2.0 protocol. To ensure secure communication and protect sensitive data, every request to the API requires a valid access token in the Authorization
header.
To use the Tiller Verifications API, you'll need some credentials. This is essential for authenticating your requests and ensuring secure access to the system. Here’s how to get started:
Contact your Tiller account manager to request your API credentials. -
info@tillertech.com.
Safeguard your credentials; it is required for authorization. Treat it like a password—never share it or expose it publicly.
To authenticate your requests, you need to retrieve an access token by sending a POST
request to the authentication /connect/token
endpoint. The request should include the following form data:
grant_type
Yes
Specifies the OAuth 2.0 grant type. Use client_credentials
.
client_id
Yes
Your client unique identifier provided by Tiller.
client_secret
Yes
Your secret key provided by Tiller.
scope
Yes
Use VerificationsAPI
as the scope.
To use the access token with the Verifications service, include it in the Authorization
header of your HTTP requests.
Token Renewal: Monitor the token’s expiry and implement logic to request a new one before making further API calls.
Secure Transmission: Always use HTTPS to prevent interception of the access token during transmission.
Scope Management: Use minimal scopes necessary for each request to enhance security.
By including the access token in your requests, you gain secure and authenticated access to the Verifications service, protecting sensitive information.
The Ongoing Monitoring API allows you to manage and retrieve updates for continuous background checks. When ongoing monitoring is enabled during a verification request (enableOngoingMonitoring: true
), the system monitors the individual on a daily basis to identify new PEP & Sanctions, Adverse Media, or Watchlist events. Alerts are sent to the subscribed return URL whenever there is a status change, and results can be retrieved using the relevant endpoints.
Endpoint:
GET /api/v1/ongoingmonitoring/{correlationId}
Description:
Retrieves the verification statuses and results for a specific ongoing monitoring record using the correlationId
provided during the initial verification request.
Path parameters:
correlationId
(string, required): The unique ID associated with the monitoring request.
Query Parameters:
fromDate
(date-time, optional): Filter results starting from this date.
toDate
(date-time, optional): Filter results up to this date.
Endpoint:

Description:
Unsubscribes the provided return URL from ongoing monitoring. After unsubscribing, you will no longer receive updates for monitored profiles.
The UK Bank Account Check is a specialised service designed to verify the ownership of a UK bank account by an individual. This verification process ensures that the bank account details provided by a customer match their personal information, enabling businesses to confirm account authenticity and ownership with high confidence.
Check Type ID: 3
This is the check type used to validate the ownership of a UK bank account. It ensures the provided bank account details match the personal information of the account holder.
Required Profile Information
To perform a UK Bank Account Check, the following fields are required in the profile
section of the request:
Personal Details:
firstName
(Required): The first name of the individual.
lastName
(Required): The last name of the individual.
dateOfBirth
(Required): Validates the individual against the bank’s internal records.
Bank Account Details:
bankDetails.accountNumber
(Required): The 8-digit bank account number.
bankDetails.sortCode
(Required): The 6-digit bank sort code in the format XXXXXX
.
bankDetails.openedDate
(Optional): The date the account was opened, for additional accuracy.
Customer Data Submission:
The customer provides their personal details (e.g., first name, last name, and date of birth) and bank account information (account number and sort code).
This data is included in the profile
section of the verification request payload.
Data Matching:
The provided account details are matched against the bank’s internal records, ensuring that the account is registered to the named individual.
This process confirms that the customer owns the supplied bank account.
Validation Process:
The service validates the format and accuracy of the sort code and account number.
If the bank account exists and matches the individual’s personal details, the check returns a "Pass" result.
In cases of mismatched or incomplete data, the check provides specific failure details.
The Address Verification service offered enables reliable international address verification as part of the KYC process. This service covers 53 countries and leverages trusted in-country data sources, such as government agencies, credit bureaus, and utility companies. By directly accessing these sources, the system ensures that verification results are accurate and up-to-date.
Check Type ID: 1
This is the check type used for Address Verification. It validates the individual’s address against trusted data sources, such as government registries and utility records.
Required Profile Information
To perform Address Verification, the following fields are required in the profile
section of the request:
Personal Details:
firstName
(Required): The first name of the individual.
lastName
(Required): The last name of the individual.
dateOfBirth
(Optional): Improves match accuracy when included.
Address Details:
currentAddress.structured
(Preferred): A structured address format that includes:
flatApartmentSubBuilding
(Optional)
BuildingNumber
(Optional)
BuildingName
(Optional)
RoadStreet
(Optional)
townCity
(Optional)
postZipCode
(Required)
countryCode
(Required): Must be a valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.
currentAddress.unstructured
(Fallback): If structured data is unavailable, unstructured data can be provided, though this decreases match accuracy.
Data Sources: Verification utilizes regulatory-quality data sources, including government registries, voter databases, and utility records. Mobile and marketing data sources are not used to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Match Process: Verify matches the provided address details with available data sources. A positive match confirms residency at the stated address.
Data Protection: Personal data is shared temporarily with data providers for matching purposes. Strict legal agreements ensure GDPR compliance and limit data usage.
International residential address verification uses a number of data providers with access to regional data source providers within the supported countries. Verify by Tiller uses data sources direct from government agencies, credit agencies, utility companies and landline telecommunication providers. Mobile telecommunication providers, marketing lists or other sources which do not meet regulatory standards are not used.
When verifying the address, Verify determines which in-country data sources are available and most likely to be able to obtain a match and get the provider to confirm if the credentials provided match their records. By matching directly to the original data source provider, we ensure the data is as up to date as possible. The number and degree of match is then used to confirm if the individual is a resident at their stated address.
Tiller partners with a number of carefully selected agents who have access to specific in-country regulatory-quality data sources. Tiller’s Verify application will use one or more of the following data source types to verify the residential address of an individual:
Credit Agency Databases,
Government Databases (e.g., Voter, Social Security, Population/Citizenship Registries)
Utility Company Databases (e.g., Electricity, Water, Gas, Telephone (excluding Mobile)).
Most regulators make provision for the address to be verified against such data sources and Verifications includes which data source types were used in the verification results it provides back via its API.
It is necessary to support residential address checks to temporarily share name and address PII information with a data source provider for the match check to be performed. Tillers legal agreements with our providers strictly restricts the use and retention of the PII information shared. PII data is only permitted to be used for the purposes of confirming a name and address match and may not be retained or used for any other purposes. The providers are also contractually required to adhere to all provisions of GDPR.
Tillers systems and data are hosted within the EU/EEA, however, where an individual being checked is resident outside the EU it is necessary for Tiller to share that individuals PII data with the data source providers in that individual’s country of residence. Tillers legal agreements with our providers include the modernised 2021 EU SCC (Standard Contractual Clauses) that have been “pre-approved” by the European Commission, ensuring appropriate data protection safeguards covering international transfers of PII data.
The above data handling & verification model is that same as that used by our larger enterprise customers such has HSBC, who received a confirmation of ‘no objection’ from the JSFC (Jersey Financial Services Commission) when they submitted their outsourcing request to use Tillers services to them.
This quick start guide will help you set up and execute your first verification request in just a few steps.

PEP and Sanction screening uses an external data provider. They maintain a correlation database of PEP Tier 1, 2, 3 & PEP by association OECD categorises lists which are updated daily from various sources, such as official government websites or national assemblies of foreign offices, CIA World leaders lists, open source verified repositories and selected media websites.
For Sanction screening, the database is collated and updated daily from the following sources: UK HM Treasury, US Department of the Treasury - Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), US Department of State - Bureau of International Security & Non-Proliferation Sanctions, UN Security Council Committees, EU Sanction records, US Defence Trade Controls and other international government and local authority resources.
Please see below a list of sanctions sources that the individuals is checked
The individual is checked against various global sources to assess whether they are potentially a politically exposed person. Each PEP type helps categorise the type of PEP (e.g. HOS - Head of State).
PEPs are categorised into tiers of risk. With Tier 1 being the highest potential risk, including heads of state and high ranking government positions.
Family members and personal and business associates of PEPs, typically individuals who are not PEPs in their own capacity but serve on a board of directors alongside PEPs. Based on FATF, Close Associates are considered to be: (known) (sexual) partners outside the family unit (e.g., girlfriends, boyfriends, mistresses); prominent members of the same political party, civil organisation, labour, or employee union as the PEP; business partners or associates, especially those that share (beneficial) ownership of legal entities with the PEP, or who are otherwise connected (e.g., through joint membership of a company board). In the case of personal relationships, the social, economic, and cultural context may also play a role in determining how close those relationships generally are (FATF Guidelines, 2013).
Should the individual have a potential match within the PEP & Sanctions sources they will be flagged up for review.
The Adverse Media check offers a comprehensive screening against negative media sources to ascertain any potential risks associated with an individual. This feature conducts daily scans across a vast array of media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, TV/radio transcripts, and more, encompassing over 120,000 sources. With a formidable database established from screening over 2.5 billion media articles, it boasts an extensive collection of negative news, encompassing individuals ranging from terrorists and fraudsters to criminals and influencers.
The core of this feature lies in its ability to categorise Adverse Media Events based on their Risk Stage and Risk Type. The Risk Stage determines where an event is in its lifecycle, while the Risk Type provides insights into the nature of the event, such as abuse, arson, fraud, cybercrime, and more. These classifications work in tandem to decide if a particular Adverse Media Event should be included in the results, ensuring a thorough and precise assessment for every individual screened.
The Risk Stage describes where in its lifecycle an Adverse Media Event is. Risk Stages are used in conjunction with Risk Types to determine if the Adverse Media Event is to be included in the results.

This guide details all the parameters required for a request to the Tiller Verifications API. The parameters are grouped into four sections: External Reference, Options, Checks, and Profile.
The Tiller Verifications API uses a well-defined request structure to ensure that all the required information is included to perform verification checks effectively. Each request is composed of several key sections. Understanding these sections is essential for building robust integrations and achieving reliable results.
The request is divided into the following components:
External Reference: This provides a unique identifier for tracking your request. It acts as a client-generated reference to link API responses to specific operations in your system.
Options: This section configures the behaviour of the request. Options such as asynchronous or synchronous processing and mock mode for testing.
Checks: This is the core of the verification request. It specifies what checks need to be performed. Multiple check types can be included in a single request, provided the necessary information for each check is supplied.
Profile: This section contains the personal and address details of the individual or entity being verified. Depending on the type of check, the profile must include specific fields such as names, date of birth, and addresses. Addresses can be provided in either structured or unstructured formats, though structured formats are recommended for higher match accuracy.
The externalReferenceId
parameter is used to uniquely identify a request.
externalReferenceId
string
Yes
A unique identifier for your request, provided by your system. This helps in tracking specific requests.
Example:
The options
parameter defines how the request is processed.
runAsync
boolean
