Verification of Payee for fintechs
How fintechs and startups add Verification of Payee with an API-first integration — meeting the regulation and scaling without building scheme adherence in-house.
What Verification of Payee means for fintechs
Fintechs that move euro funds are in scope for Verification of Payee under the Instant Payments Regulation, just like banks — but usually with smaller teams and a faster product cadence.
An API-first VoP provider lets a fintech embed the name check directly into its payment flows, with sandbox testing, clear response codes and predictable latency, without a multi-month scheme project.
This keeps engineering focused on the product while still delivering a compliant, fraud-reducing transfer experience that scales as volumes grow.

Common questions from fintechs.
If a fintech is a PSP moving euro credit transfers, it is in scope for Verification of Payee under the Instant Payments Regulation, the same as a bank.
Yes. RoxPay provides a sandbox so engineering can integrate and test match, close-match, no-match and not-possible outcomes before production.
Because RoxPay handles scheme adherence and name matching, a fintech integrates against one API rather than running a multi-month scheme project.
No. The check is designed for low latency so it fits inside the instant-payment window without a noticeable delay for users.
