Abstract
Techniques are described related to validating financial accounts, such as before allowing the use of the financial accounts in making payments or otherwise being used as part of transactions. In some situations, the validating of a financial account includes corroborating that a user who desires to use the financial account is the account holder for the account or is otherwise authorized to use the account, such as by confirming that the user has access to information about transactions involving the account and that the user has access to at least one physical item that is delivered to an address or other location associated with the user. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
