Use this API to verify if a given PAN exists. You will receive the name registered with the PAN and the PAN type (Individual or Business) in the response for valid PAN.
Name Match Feature
To manually check if the provided customer name and the name registered with PAN are the same, consumes a lot of time and effort. Cashfree Payments has introduced a new feature that will help you to verify if the names are the same and provide the result accordingly.
Two new parameters, nameMatchResult and nameMatchScore will be available in the response, which will help you make faster validations and process payments successfully. Click here to know more.
Contact your Account Manager or write to [email protected] to activate the name match score feature for your account.
