What VeriPost replaces that with

How it works

Three steps from a postcode to a trusted address.

01Lookup L1 and L2

Resolve

The customer enters their postcode. We check it is valid and resolve the official administrative and house address from the NIPOST registry.

02Reverse geocode

Bind

We reverse-geocode the customer's live location and compare the nearest real postcode to the one they claimed. This binds the address to the person.

03Signed record

Attest

We return a signed Verified Address Record with a confidence score, and keep an audit log the bank can retrieve at any time.

Why a score, not a yes or no

A valid postcode proves nothing on its own.

Anyone can type a real code. The signal that matters is whether the live location supports the claim. We grade it so a customer who is simply away from home is flagged for review, not rejected, and can be reconfirmed on a later session.

  • VerifiedLive location matches the claimed postcode
  • FlaggedPartial match, route to step-up review
  • UnverifiedLocation does not support the claim
  • RejectedPostcode is not in the NIPOST registry

Meaningful use of the NIPOST API

Four NIPOST tools, each doing real work.

Search

Segment-aware autocomplete powers the postcode field, so customers enter a real code the first time.

Lookup Level 1

Instant validity check. Malformed or fake codes are rejected before anything else runs.

Lookup Levels 2 to 3

Resolves the official administrative and house address that becomes the verified record.

Reverse geocode

Takes the live location and returns the nearest real postcode, which we match to the claim.

Responsible by design

Nigeria Data Protection Act

Consent captured before any location read, with data minimised to the score.

Test data only

The demo runs on the NIPOST sandbox. No real residential data is used.

No stored identity

Customers are a pseudonymous reference, never a real name.

Hashed keys

Client API keys are stored only as hashes. The raw key is shown once.
