OneID® [auto-populates direct debit mandates](https://oneid.uk/direct-debit) with verified data from the bank as per BACS Direct Debit scheme rules. With just a few clicks on their mobile banking app, individuals can prove their identity – enabling faster KYC and verified direct debit mandates.   ![direct debit local authority](https://oneid.uk/hubfs/Website-Graphics/Refresh/Generic%20Images/sign-up%20and%20verified.png) ![](https://oneid.uk/hubfs/Website%20Graphics/Website%2023%20Winter%20Refresh/Background%20Patterns/Light-TintGrey%20Pattern.png) ### **Stay ahead of account takeover fraud.** Fraudsters take over accounts by pretending to have forgotten the password or lost the device to wrongfully claim benefits and payments. OneID® can reduce this by using the bank’s secure authentication methods. Also, by auto-populating verified account details when setting up beneficiaries, OneID® ensures that the benefits go to the right individuals and safeguards public funds.   ![anti fraud beneficiaries](https://oneid.uk/hubfs/Website-Graphics/Refresh/Generic%20Images/dd-fraudcost.png) #### How fast is OneID®?
