Confirm genuine applicants with ease
With DIDS you can check a UCAS applicant's status online without needing them to come into a branch or supply physical evidence of their place at university or college. While not an identity checking service, this provides a simple, barrier-free solution to status verification.

Integrate verification into applications to higher education
- During their UCAS application process, applicants are automatically provided with two codes.
- At this point they also provide consent for banks to check their status.
- They input these codes remotely to prove their eligibility for a student bank account.
- Banks then verify these codes with UCAS to ensure they’re genuine applicants.
- You'll receive the data by API – real-time access to an applicant's status.
