Overview

About the clientType and how it affects which sources are checked

If you register with a clientType set to anything other than "SMSF" (or alternately don't send down a clientType) then the organisation is treated as a company and two "non-consent" checks are performed.  The entity is checked against the ASIC and ABR sources.  If no match is found via these non-consent sources, then a POST to the start page can be performed to allow the details to be tweaked to achieve a match via the user-centric versions of the ASIC and ABR sources.

...

POSTing to the start page

When redirecting to our site for companies/SMSFs, rather than POSTing to start.seam as you would when verifying individuals, you POST to company-start.seam.   The following post parameters are accepted; their meaning is the same as for the individuals.  The only difference being that "clientId" is the identifier for non-individuals rather than userId:
  • returnUrl
  • cancelUrl
  • customerId
  • timeoutUrl
  • exceptionUrl
  • clientId

The sources

The following are the sources we check non-individuals against:

About the clientType and how it affects which sources are checked

If the clientType is "SMSF" the organisation is registered as a self managed super fund and no non-consent checks are performed (we currently don't have a non-consent version of the super fund lookup). The user-centric SMSF source must be used, and so a POST must be done to the start page as below.
