Real-time death confirmation, built into the systems you already use.

Every payment made to someone who has died is money that’s hard to get back, an opening for fraud, and a mark against your fiduciary record. Most organizations learn about these deaths weeks or months later, through a file or an audit, after the money is gone. BerwynAPI closes that gap. It instantly checks whether a person is deceased, before anything moves forward.

Where it works

  • Claims intake: check the claimant and the insured in the processing workflow.
  • Account opening: stop identities of the deceased from being used to open accounts.
  • Account changes: check before address, bank, or beneficiary changes go through, where takeover attempts happen.
