Eliminate payments friction with upfront account verification
Friction in the payments system costs the industry more than $2bn every year, affecting over 700 million transactions. But much of this friction is the result of avoidable errors, such as typos and formatting errors.
Payment Pre-validation puts these problems in the past, utilising API technology and best-in-class data sources to validate key information before a payment is sent. The result? Frictionless payments, fewer delays and happier customers.
Payment Pre-validation
How it works
Before sending a payment, banks can check the validity of the beneficiary account by comparing it against our vast library of transaction data – that’s over 9 billion payments travelling between 4 billion accounts every single year. Data is secure and centralised, meaning you can pre-validate payments against all historical transactions – whether you’re sending them to a long-term banking partner or a new bank on your books.
Checks are completed in real time via APIs, so pre-validating payments will only save time and reduce friction.
