We’ve leveraged bank-grade services like Confirmation of Payee (CoP), a name-checking service for banks introduced in 2020, to protect against Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud and misdirected payments. This can help solve this all-too-common business pain to deliver better efficiency, security and customer experience.
Receivables teams can ensure that the bank account details provided belong to the named business or individual, giving companies greater confidence that the Direct Debit is being set up by the actual account holder. This helps to lower the risk of an indemnity claim, where the payer can claim back their payment if taken in error or without authorisation.
Payables teams can check and verify that the owner of the bank account where the funds are being paid matches those of the payee, ensuring payments are delivered swiftly and frictionlessly.
