# Overview

> Streamline identity verification and accelerate customer onboarding with the Smarty Connector

The Smarty Connector integrates with [Smarty](https://www.smarty.com/), empowering your platform with real-time US address validation and enrichment. By using Smarty's API, the connector delivers a dynamic list of suggested addresses based on minimal user input, which significantly reduces friction during onboarding or account updates.
