# Third Party Validation on Optimizer

> Third-Party Validation (TPV) of bank accounts is a mandatory requirement for businesses in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) sector dealing with Securities, Broking and Mutual Funds. As per Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) guidelines, customers must only make transactions from those bank accounts provided when registering with your business.

You can use Optimizer and comply with the SEBI guidelines for online payment collections by offering TPV integrations with major bank gateways and payment aggregators at the Checkout. Customers can make payments using netbanking or UPI.
