Email Verification

Email OTP for email address verification confirms inbox ownership by sending a one-time password (OTP) during onboarding.

Email Verification Overview

Email Verification helps you confirm email ownership during onboarding. ComplyCube generates time-bound one-time passwords (OTP), delivers them to the customer’s inbox, and validates submissions before the verification flow continues.

Email Verification confirms that the customer can access the inbox. It does not assess whether the email address is temporary, disposable, breached, or otherwise high risk.

Use Email Intelligence when you need disposable email detection, breach exposure checks, and broader email risk analysis.

Common use cases

Use Email OTP verification anywhere the email address is a key identifier:

• KYC onboarding: Confirm the customer controls the email address before deeper checks.
• Sign-up and login verification: Reduce fake sign-ups with a friction-light OTP challenge.
• Transaction and settings changes: Re-verify email ownership before sensitive actions.

How it works

1. A flow initiates Email Verification for the customer’s email address.
2. ComplyCube sends an OTP to the customer via email.
3. The customer enters the OTP in the verification step.
4. ComplyCube validates the code before the verification flow continues.
