Introduction

Checking customer data for any existing adverse criteria.


This request is only available if module “protect” has been ordered.

The customer check is carried out to determine the risk of non-payment of demands against customers. With the help of consumer information (adverse criteria) a score value is determined which you can use to assess the creditworthiness of the customers, get a realistic picture of the risk of non-payment and offer the corresponding types of payment.

For best results please provide “streetname” and “streetnumber” in separate fields. If not possible you can use “street” only.

For “consumerscore” first-/last name is obviously mandatory. Parameter “gender” and “birthday” are mandatory for Boniversum and optional for Arvato but recommended for best results.
