Cross-Border IBAN-Name Check

One connection, global reach.

By confirming that the payee’s name matches with the name on the intended recipient’s bank account, the IBAN-Name Check helps to avoid misdirected payments and reduces push payment fraud. This gives you and your customers confidence that any payments being made are going to the intended beneficiary.

Leading the fight against payment fraud

Payments across the world have increasingly shifted to digital channels, and this has led to a surge in fraud cases, and Authorised Push Payment fraud – where fraudsters trick individuals and companies into paying funds into the wrong accounts – is a growing problem is chief among them.

Our Dutch CoP solution, the IBAN-Name Check, is live since 2017 and checks 99,5% of all payments in The Netherlands. SurePay’s CoP solution in the UK already checks 35% of all online payments.

In response to the global fraud problem, we have launched the world’s first Cross-Border IBAN-Name Check solution by partnering with SEPAMail.eu and StreamMind. Our new Cross-Border service enables businesses and banks to check that account information matches the intended beneficiary when sending payments between France and the Netherlands.

This is achieved through IBAN-Name Check verifications which are carried out by directly querying banks’ account databases. It’s an effective, efficient, and cost-effective way of significantly reducing instances of serious fraud that are very easy to fall victim to. This means we now check domestic, regional and global payments.
