Consumer MatchLevel
The MatchLevel response field indicates how well the request fields sent to the API match the response fields. For example, a MatchLevel returned of E1 might be considered an exact match whereas a return of E2 reveals that the first name of the individual does not necessarily match the request fields.

Business MatchLevel
Business searches are conducted using a combination of business name, location and postal address match. The MatchLevel response field indicates how well the request fields sent to the API match the response fields. For example, a MatchLevel returned of BUS1 gives a high confidence that there is an exact match whereas a return of BUS2 states that business name does not necessarily make a match yet the address is a perfect match. BUS3 gives a low confidence that the business name matches yet the address is an exact match.

| {None or Null} | All match supported levels for the endpoint. |
| BUS1 | High confidence business name match, exact address. |
| BUS2 | Medium confidence business name match, exact address. |

| BUS4 | High confidence business name match, exact city & state. |
| BUS5 | High confidence business name, exact state. |
