Does this replace our fraud tooling?

No. A verified identity tells you the buyer is who they say. It does not tell you the card is theirs. Use it to reduce friction for verified buyers rather than to retire your scoring.

Can we take the address without the name?

You can request any subset the credential supports. Shipping usually needs a name on the parcel, but if yours does not, leave it out and store less.

How does this help a marketplace verify sellers?

Business credentials carry legal name, registry number, VAT status and registered address, signed by the relevant registry. The badge then reflects a verified record rather than an uploaded PDF.

E-commerce

Address and buyer verification at checkout

A wallet-verified address arrives already validated and signed, which removes the typo failures outright and makes address fraud considerably more expensive. On marketplaces the same mechanism confirms seller legal name, registry number and VAT status, so a trust badge points at a government record instead of a self-declaration.

The problem

What teams do today

Checkout asks the buyer to type an address nobody verifies. Typos turn into failed deliveries, deliberate mistakes turn into chargebacks. Marketplaces have the same problem on the supply side, where a seller profile is a display name and an email and buyers are asked to trust it with a four-figure purchase.

01: Typo-driven failed deliveries mostly disappear on wallet checkouts
02: Fewer fields to fill, which is the oldest reliable conversion win there is
03: Marketplace seller badges backed by registry data

How it works

Three steps with Authbound

Step 01
Offer wallet autofill
Put a one-tap option next to manual entry that fills name and shipping address from the wallet.
Step 02
Receive structured fields
The address comes back as signed structured data rather than free text, so there is no normalisation pass.
Step 03
Feed your fraud rules
Use the verification as a strong positive signal and relax friction for verified buyers.

Rules in play

PSD2 and SCA where payment is involved, GDPR, eIDAS 2.0

We built Cartiva, a company that does not exist, to show this running inside a finished product. The wallet flow in it is the real SDK.
