About

In fast-moving customer experiences such as checkout pages, onboarding flows, or real-time order processing, every second matters. Delays in verifying a customer’s tax status can create friction, increase abandonment, and slow revenue conversion.

Fonoa Instant Lookup enables you to validate business Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) in real time, providing all the compliance and accuracy benefits of our standard Lookup product—format and integrity checks, plus verification against official government databases—at near-instant speeds. This means you can confidently determine a customer’s VAT status before processing a payment or activating an account, without disrupting the user experience.

By validating TINs instantly, you can:

Reduce friction in customer journeys by eliminating waiting times.
Increase conversion rates by keeping checkout and onboarding seamless.
Stay compliant by ensuring accurate VAT status verification before completing transactions.

Fonoa Instant Lookup is currently available for business TINs only and is being rolled out to more countries. To be among the first to integrate Instant Lookup into your flows, contact our sales team or your customer success manager.
