KYC screening · Address risk
Screen the addresses
in your applicant file.
Most onboarding checks the name, the document, and the device, and gives the address a format check. The address is where a lot of the risk sits. Mailbox-store suites, virtual offices, drop points, and vacant houses show up in the address itself if you have the right flags. Upload the file you already have and get every row back with those flags in plain columns.
For lenders, fintech onboarding teams, marketplaces, insurers, and anyone whose risk team keeps a spreadsheet of addresses they meant to check earlier.
The deliverable
4
screening signals per row, live today — Standardization pass or fail, duplicate clusters on the standardized form, tract vacancy, and income context, each in its own column.
5
delivery-point flags on USPS activation — Mailbox-store, private mailbox, drop point, vacancy, and usage type, read at the exact address rather than the neighborhood.
3
ways one address hides — “Apt 4B”, “#4B”, and “Unit 4-B” collapse to one standardized form, so shared-address velocity is visible before underwriting.
Every flag lands in a plain column on your file — no score without its reason. See the sample report →
Available today
- Standardization pass or fail for every row. An address that cannot be resolved against the national inventory is flagged rather than accepted. It is the cheapest fraud filter available.
- Duplicate clusters on the standardized form. "Apt 4B", "#4B", and "Unit 4-B" collapse into one entry, so shared-address velocity is visible before underwriting.
- Neighborhood vacancy and income context. Census ACS tract vacancy and median household income per row, so a large stated income at an address in a mostly vacant tract stands out.
- The screened file plus a written report. Match quality, clusters, geographic concentration, and a plain priority order for manual review.
Standardization and enrichment run against the U.S. Census Bureau's national address inventory and ACS 5-year tract data. This describes standardization quality and statistical risk. It is not a postal certification.
With USPS verification
- Commercial mail receiving agency flag. Whether the address is a mailbox store, at delivery-point precision, with the count of customers served at that drop. This is the single most useful KYC address signal.
- Private mailbox detection. A "PMB 204" hiding inside a street address, parsed out and flagged.
- Drop point, throwback, and PO-box-street-address flags. Three more ways a mailbox turns out not to be a residence, each in its own column.
- Vacant, seasonal, and no-stat delivery points. Occupancy from the delivery record itself: nobody lives here, nobody lives here right now, or nobody has lived here yet.
- Residential, business, or mixed usage, and the default-match flag. A "residence" that is actually a business, or a match that only resolved to a default record, is never scored as clean.
These fields come from USPS delivery-point records under RevAddress's own USPS Addresses license. A report you run today carries the Census sections; the same file picks up the USPS sections automatically, without a re-upload.
