How it works

A genuine statement can still be someone else's

A borrowed statement passes every document check because it's real. It just doesn't belong to your applicant. Account ownership checks close that gap.

FAQs

The questions fraud teams ask us

What is account ownership verification?

Checking that a bank account belongs to the person or business you're about to pay or lend to.

What is Confirmation of Payee?

A UK check that asks the account-holding bank whether the name you have matches the account. You get a match, close match or no match result with a reason code.

What is the restriction list?

A list of sort codes and account numbers linked to mule activity. Fraudfinder matches the account details on a document against it and flags any hit.

Why isn't a document check enough?

A borrowed statement is genuine, so it passes a fraud check. It just belongs to someone else. Ownership checks catch that.

When should we check ownership?

At onboarding, before a payout or drawdown, and whenever a customer or supplier changes their bank details.

Is it in the same platform as document checks?

Yes. Confirmation of Payee runs in the same portal and API as your document checks.

Does it work outside the UK?

Confirmation of Payee is a UK service. Account numbers and IBANs from other countries can still be validated.
