Scoring and Icons in Background Check Panels
The Legal Entity and Principal Owner panels (shown in Figure 2-16 in Legal Entity and Background Check Results Panels and Figure 2-19 in Principal Owner and Background Check Results Panels) display a score with a brief description in the header that summarizes the level of identity verification, as indicated by the background check performed by Worldpay. Table 2-14 lists the overall scores that could be assigned based on the background checks of either the business, the principal, or the business-to-principal association.

The Legal Entity and Principal Owner panels also use the following icons to help quickly define background check information:
-
Check mark - In the header, the check mark indicates that the overall score assigned as a result of the background check is greater than 10. In a field, the check mark indicates that the information in that field has been verified.
-
Exclamation Point - In the header, the exclamation point indicates that the overall score assigned as a result of the background check is 10 or less. In a field, the exclamation point indicates that the information in that field has not been verified.
