Use case

Utility bills and statements mapped to address schema

Name, address, issuer and date extracted from any bill — the four fields referencing checks actually need.

The problem

Proof of address is the slowest step in onboarding: every issuer formats bills differently, and photos are rarely clean.

  1. 01Issuer variety. Utilities, banks, councils and telecoms each lay out bills their own way — templates never cover them all.
  2. 02Photo quality. Folded paper, shadows and cropped edges break rigid parsers and bounce applicants back.
  3. 03Four-field hunt. Reviewers only need name, address, issuer and date — but they dig through whole pages to find them.
  4. 04Stale documents. A bill from fourteen months ago passes a tired reviewer. Recency checks need the issue date, parsed.

The solution

Fieldry pulls the four PoA fields from any bill or statement, dated and evidenced.

  1. 01Issuer-agnostic. No per-utility templates. Any bill layout maps to the same four-field schema.
  2. 02Date extracted. Issue date parsed and validated, so recency rules run on data instead of eyeballing.
  3. 03Mismatch surfacing. Bill name or address disagreeing with the ID surfaces side by side with evidence.
  4. 04Photo-tolerant. Skew and glare handled by OCR; low-confidence fields flagged rather than guessed.

Anatomy of an address check

An applicant uploads a crumpled electricity bill photo. A reviewer needs four facts from it — and proof they are current.

Fieldry extracts name, address, issuer and issue date, checks recency and format, and compares against the ID on file.

  • OutputFour cited fields + recency verdict
  • ReviewOnly mismatches need eyes

From bill photo to verified address

  1. Reviewer confirms or rejects from evidence — address record closed.

Talk to us

Utility bills, bank statements, council tax letters and tenancy agreements. The schema needs name, address, issuer and date — whatever carries all four passes.

The issue date is parsed and compared against your window (e.g. 3 months). Out-of-window bills are flagged automatically.

Skew, glare and folds are handled by OCR; fields below your confidence threshold route to review with the source snippet attached.

Your policy decides — Fieldry surfaces bill-vs-ID disagreements with both evidences; auto-reject, manual review or step-up verification is your call.
