Returns a score from 0 to 100 for how similar two texts are. It is designed for comparing names, so names that sound the same score high even when they are written differently.
  • It absorbs differences in spacing, letter case, and name order. Example: Hong Gildong and Gildong Hong
  • Non-English text is transliterated into English before comparison. Example: 홍길동 and HONG GILDONG
  • It does not make a decision. You set the threshold for treating two names as the same.
  • Scores for the same input can change when the algorithm is improved.
When a name from the account holder lookup (BANK-KOR-AON) or ID OCR does not exactly match your member’s name, use this API to tell a spelling difference from a different person.

​
Billing

The billing unit is response, and each call has a count of 1. A call is billed when a score is returned; a request that does not match the contract returns 400 and is not billed.
