Vendor Management | KYC Verification
KYC verified live, at onboarding and at every bill.
UEN against the ACRA register, GST registration against IRAS, bank account against the payee name, and the vendor screened against sanctions lists. Verification runs at onboarding and re-runs at every bill capture. Status changes, a struck-off entity or a supplier that has deregistered from GST, surface before the next payment.

Compliance + integrations
KYC at the source, not at the audit.
Every verification is a live call to the source register. Status is captured at the moment of the call, with a timestamp and audit trail. No stale data, no manual entry.
Regulations we work within
-
GST Act
Input tax is claimable only on a tax invoice from a GST-registered supplier, so registration status is checked before the claim.
-
PDPA 2012
Personal data collected with consent and held to purpose. NRIC numbers are not collected, per the PDPC's advisory guidelines.

KYC Verification FAQ
What buyers ask.
How often does the system re-verify a vendor?
At every bill capture for the GST registration check, and on a monthly cadence for the full KYC set. Status changes trigger alerts that surface on the AP team's queue. Manual re-verification is also one click.
A vendor gets struck off the ACRA register. What happens?
The next bill capture flags it. The bill is held with a "struck off" reason and the AP team is notified. The vendor is locked from raising new bills until the entity is restored or the record is repointed at the successor entity.
Do you collect NRIC numbers for sole proprietors?
No. The PDPC's advisory guidelines restrict collecting NRIC numbers, and a vendor record does not need one. The sole proprietorship is verified by its UEN against ACRA, and payment is verified by the bank account name match.
Can we verify in bulk?
Yes. Bulk UEN and GST registration verification is supported via CSV upload. Useful for verifying an existing vendor master at OneFinOps onboarding. Results post back to the vendor records with the verification trail.
