TruValidate Key Features

Pros of TruValidate

  • Huge amount of data sources: TruValidate can leverage data from the entire Iovation suite, including credit info.
  • Unique industry use cases: Iovation offers specific tools for the insurance vertical or landlords, among others.

Cons of TruValidate
  • Non-transparent pricing: you need to contact the sales team to get an idea of how much each Iovation product will cost you.
  • No compliance solution: TruValidate isn’t designed to help with AML or PSD2, for instance.
  • US-centric: not ideal if you are in an emerging market.
