Confiban for banks
Compliance as a service
Make your online banking channel an even safer place for your users by checking if the IBAN and beneficiary combination entered in a payment match.
With the rise of instant payments, the need for robust payment security measures increases. On 26 October 2022, the European Commission has put forward a legislative proposal on instant payments. The proposal holds an obligation for payment service providers to verify the match between the bank account number (IBAN) and the name of the beneficiary as provided by the payer.
What can it do for you
Checking the recipient’s name against the account number before executing a transaction prevents misdirected payments and reduces the risk of fraud, by confirming that the payee’s details are accurate before proceeding with the payment. Such checks can be integrated for instant payments as well as regular credit transfers.
With Confiban for banks an IBAN check can be integrated into the online banking channel to verify payment details:
- Provide instant feedback on payee details
- Prevent fraud
- Prepare upcoming EU regulation
- Prevent misdirected payments
- Increase the user’s confidence
