Integrate Verification of Payee in days, not months
A clear path from sign-up to production: authenticate, send your first VoP request, handle the outcomes, and go live with confidence.
How integration works
Five steps from sandbox access to a live, compliant Verification of Payee flow.
- 1
Get sandbox access
Request credentials and receive an API key and the base URL for the sandbox environment. No commitment, no infrastructure to provision.
- 2
Authenticate
Every request is authenticated with your API key over TLS. Scoped keys separate sandbox from production.
- 3
Send your first VoP request
Post the payee name and IBAN to the verification endpoint and receive a structured result in real time — typically in well under a second.
- 4
Handle the outcomes
Map the three scheme outcomes — match, close match (with the suggested name) and no match — into your payment UI so the payer can make an informed decision.
- 5
Go live
Switch to production keys, enable webhooks or async polling for batch flows, and turn on logging for audit. You're VoP-ready.
What you get
Real-time REST API
A simple JSON request/response over HTTPS, built for instant payment flows.
Single & batch
Verify one payee inline, or run bulk verification for ERP and payroll files.
Webhooks & async
Use synchronous calls for checkout, or asynchronous callbacks for high-volume jobs.
Clear docs & SDKs
Reference docs, sample payloads and language SDKs so your team ships fast.
Tip: design for close match first
Most integration effort goes into the close-match experience. Show the suggested name and let the payer confirm or amend — this is where VoP prevents misdirected payments without blocking legitimate ones.
FAQ
Teams typically reach a working sandbox integration in a few days. Going to production depends on your internal testing and release process, not on the API itself.
Sandbox API credentials and the ability to make an HTTPS request. You can test your first verification with a single API call.
Yes. Alongside the real-time endpoint, you can submit batches for accounts-payable and payroll files and receive results asynchronously.
