Magic Link Security & Management

We've delivered a series of enhancements to strengthen the security and management of Magic Links.

What's New

• Magic Link creation is now fully audited, providing visibility of who created a link and when.
• Clients can now configure Magic Links as single-use where additional security is required. This is an additional parameter than can be specified in the request.
• Additional safeguards prevent Magic Link parameters from being modified after creation and restrict the use of Magic Links with superuser accounts.
• New client-level settings allow organisations to enable or disable Magic Links to suit their security requirements. These have been enabled for clients using magic links but will need to be enabled for any new clients requiring them. This can be done in the client profile in the back office within the API tab.

Benefit: These improvements provide greater security, improved auditability and increased control over how Magic Links are used within your organisation.

Business Verification (KYB) Improvements

We've begun delivering the first phase of our Business Report Refresh capability.

What's New

• Company search results now display the status and date of existing reports, making it easier to identify when a refresh may be required
• New buttons added to ‘refresh’ business report. These are available in the search area, within the report itself, and on the companies list within the actions menu
• Additional permission has been introduced to control who can refresh business reports
• Clear indication of version user is viewing has been added to top of report
• New tab added to business profile to show version history of reports

(Further work on current sprint will allow users to refresh data via the portal and through a new API endpoint, add the version history to the PDF export and also retain the linked individuals)

Benefit: Clients can keep business verification information up to date without creating duplicate reports, while maintaining a complete audit history and supporting ongoing compliance requirements.

API & Integration Improvements

We've continued to expand our API capabilities to support client integrations.

What's New

• Entity Evidence endpoints are now available through the Client API, providing easier access to supporting verification evidence.
• Document issue dates are now included in IDV entry responses where available.
• The Create Entity API now prevents future dates of birth from being submitted, improving data quality and preventing errors processing checks.
• Swagger documentation now supports deep linking, making it easier for the delivery team to direct clients directly to a specific endpoint rather than the generic swagger page.

Benefit: These enhancements improve integration capabilities, increase data quality and provide a better client experience.

Identity Verification Improvements

Improved NFC Document Detection

Where NFC data identifies a different document type to the original upload, Connect will now automatically update the document type to improve verification accuracy.

Benefit: Improves document detection, reduces manual intervention and delivers more accurate document type verification results.

Bug Fixes & Platform Improvements

This release also includes a number of fixes and stability improvements, including:

• Resolved an issue where remediated CAPP check results were not correctly reflected in PDF exports.
• Fixed an issue affecting API-populated date fields that could prevent users from completing a process.
• Resolved issues with form pre-population between connected forms.
• Corrected behaviour for journeys configured as NFC Only to ensure the correct verification checks are performed.
• Fixed completion status calculations so archived or deleted processes no longer affect reporting.
• Prevented duplicate liveness charges from being generated when multiple selfie uploads occur during an RTX journey.

Benefit: These improvements increase platform reliability, improve reporting accuracy, reduce operational overhead and provide a smoother experience for both clients and end users.
