Verification of Payee for accounts payable
How finance teams verify supplier IBANs before paying — in bulk or directly inside the ERP and accounts-payable workflow — to stop invoice-redirection fraud.
What Verification of Payee means for accounts payable
Most business losses to payment fraud come from invoice redirection: a criminal changes the bank details on an invoice or supplier record, and the payment lands in the wrong account.
Verification of Payee lets a finance team confirm that the account holder name matches the IBAN before a supplier payment leaves — whether checking a single new vendor or validating a whole payment file.
Embedded into the ERP or accounts-payable workflow through RoxPay, the check runs automatically at onboarding and before payment runs, without slowing the team down.

Verification of Payee for accounts payable
Common questions from finance teams.
By confirming that the account holder name matches the IBAN before paying, VoP flags the moment a fraudster swaps in their own account details on an invoice or supplier record.
Yes. RoxPay supports bulk checks so a finance team can validate every IBAN in a payment file before the run is released.
VoP can be embedded into supplier onboarding and accounts-payable workflows via the RoxPay API, so the check runs automatically rather than as a manual step.
Re-verify whenever bank details change, since a sudden change of IBAN is one of the strongest signals of an attempted redirection.
