CreditRegistry API Aims to Fight Dud Checks in Nigeria

CreditRegistry, Nigeria's largest credit bureau, has launched an API to help financial institutions validate status checks on potential customers. The CreditRegistry Dud Cheque API should help lenders, retailers, and other businesses from accepting checks from serial dishonored (Dud) check issuers. The API will help lenders comply with new Nigerian directives and prevent check fraud which is expected to increase in the fallout from COVID-19.
