Abstract
Ensuring that a user's demographic data is correct so that billing statements may be sent to a correct address for collecting payment(s) from the user is a challenge many service providers face. Automatic information standardization and verification is provided. When a user's demographic information is inputted into an information system, address information is standardized into a standard format, a breadth of a verification to perform for the user is determined, and cross-matching the user's demographic information with information provided by one or more third party data sources is performed. Results may be provided in near real-time so that any inconsistencies may be corrected on the front-end and thus avoid unnecessary operation costs and improving billing and statement delivery.
