How Our Service Works

We use advanced algorithms to validate account details and sort codes. These algorithms, regularly updated to reflect the latest data, catch common errors and ensure details are accurate.

Instead of maintaining your own database - which requires frequent updates and technical expertise - you can rely on Mintly. Our weekly updates ensure you always have access to the most accurate information.

You can use our web tools to check accounts securely, or integrate with our API. Both options offer the same fast results for account and sort code checking.
