How do banks vet aggregators and intermediaries efficiently?

Short answer

The efficient path is relying on one shared accreditation standard instead of running due diligence on every aggregator independently.

Key takeaways

  • Banks vet aggregators efficiently by relying on one shared accreditation standard.
  • Each aggregator is verified once against a standard the network trusts.
  • Without a shared standard, multiple banks repeat due diligence on the same aggregators.
  • Every bank connecting to an accredited aggregator can rely on the same outcome.

Banks vet aggregators efficiently by relying on Invela's shared accreditation standard – verifying an aggregator once, against a standard the network trusts, instead of every bank independently re-running its own due diligence on the same aggregator. That single standard replaces duplicated vetting work with a result every connected institution can rely on.

Where the efficiency gain comes from

Efficiency comes from not repeating work another institution has already done. Without a shared standard, multiple banks independently vet the same set of aggregators, each paying the full cost of due diligence from scratch. With Invela's Accreditation, that cost is paid once, across the network, and every bank connecting to an accredited aggregator can rely on the same outcome.
