What is an EDD Pipeline?

An EDD pipeline is a configurable workflow that defines the verification checks, risk rules, and approval processes for Enhanced Due Diligence requests. Pipelines automate the verification process by specifying which checks to perform, what data to compare, and how to handle different risk levels.
