Step 6: Validate Credentials (optional)

Purpose: This method is optional and only recommended in instances where the utility credentials were invalid.

The transactionID from step #5 (start UtilityID Verification) is required.

User-experience: Notify the end-user that their credentials were invalid and allow them to retry.

📘
Important
An update will be sent to the callback URL (provided in Step 5: start UtilityID verification) indicating if the credentials are valid.
This is only for utility providers that support credential validation
