Email is widely used by most businesses to collect bank account and other required information to onboard and pay new payees. Besides for this process being inefficient and difficult to manage, this has also made it all too easy for cyber criminals to exploit the vulnerabilities commonly found with communicating via email.
Use eftsure secure and customisable portal to manage and verify new and change request payee onboardings. Once this information has been eftsure verified, it is continuously and independently monitored against external databases to ensure there are no unexpected changes that can lead to fraud or error.

Banks require only the account number and branch code to be input to process an EFT payment. They do not match the name of the payee to the account number. This is disclaimed by the banks and they put the onus of making sure the correct details are loaded on the payer.
Use eftsure unique thumb reporting in bank screen or in the eftsure portal to provide real-time risk and error alerts at point of payment prior to every payment release. Type of alerts include: account numbers not matching the payee details; incorrect vat registration; duplicate and out of range payments etc.
