AVS Advanced API in South Africa
What is an AVS Advanced API?
An AVS API in South Africa at the advanced tier is typically used where standard verification is insufficient, such as high-value payments, regulated customer onboarding, or sensitive supplier validation. AVS Advanced provides additional confidence that the bank account truly belongs to the stated individual or entity.
