Checking the payment data of customers and suppliers can be labor-intensive. But it is also necessary. Errors in administration lead to incorrect payments to customers or suppliers, and possibly to fraud. That in turn leads to unnecessary costs, complaints and even reputational damage.

SurePay has provided the IBAN-Name Check to all major Dutch and English banks since 2017. The solution enables users to see whether the name they enter with the IBAN number matches the name known to the bank. In 2019 SurePay introduced the IBAN-Name Check for Organisations. More than 215 companies and organisations have now integrated the solution into their systems.

The Portal, which is available from today, makes the IBAN-Name Check accessible to a much larger group: smaller and medium-sized organisations and companies for whom a full API integration takes too long to implement.

In the IBAN-Name Check Portal, organisations can check within seconds whether name and account number match, whether a new customer registers with a business or private account, whether an account has expired and whether the customer has switched to another account.

Additional features are also available, such as the Company ID check (Chamber of Commerce number and later also VAT number), making it even clearer whether the company is the correct account holder.

David-Jan Janse, CEO and co-founder of SurePay says: “The Portal makes the IBAN-Name Check available to companies of all sizes. KYC checks, payout and onboarding processes run more smoothly because companies can instantly check payment details. This reduces the risk of fraud and errors.”
