Cheque OCR API
Extract account number, IFSC, MICR code, bank name and account holder details from a cheque image for account verification.
Overview
What the Cheque OCR API does
Cheque OCR reads a cheque leaf and returns the banking details printed on it: account number, IFSC, MICR code, bank and branch, and the account holder name.
A cancelled cheque is still the standard proof of bank account in India. Reading it automatically removes the slowest, most error-prone step in collecting payout details, and the extracted fields feed straight into account verification.
