Portal User-Guide: Logging in for the first time

Before you start

Admins and Users

A standard agreement with GetVerified for VerifyBiz comes with access to the web-based portal. Each organisation is allocated the number of Users confirmed in their agreement - one of the Users can be nominated to hold Admin Rights. The Admin role is able to add and manage Users on behalf of the organisation.

This guide documents the steps to set-up the User role.

GetVerified and obconnect

GetVerified's VerifyBiz Confirmation of Payee service is powered by our vendor, obconnect. When setting up an administrator or a user, you can expect communications and URL addresses which include the name, obconnect.

Two Factor Authentication

To sign in and use VerifyBiz, you will need access to an authenticator application. There are many two factor Authentication (2FA) providers on the market which are free to use.

2FA for desktop: If you do not have access to a smart phone, there are desktop options (for example: https://bitwarden.com/download/.)
2FA for mobile: If you have a smart phone, we typically suggest downloading MS Authenticator from your App Store
