Global Account Verification

A powerful API designed to combat Authorised Push Payment fraud and facilitate secure, seamless cross-border payments in real-time, helping protect your business and your customers all around the world.

Unlock the power of cross-border payment security

The demand for efficient, secure, and cost-effective international transactions has never been higher. Whether you’re a business expanding into new markets, a multinational corporation managing complex supply chains, or a fintech serving end users —securing cross-border payments is essential for driving growth and success.

At the same time, the consumer-to-consumer payments landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by factors such as e-commerce growth and the rise of mobile wallets. Consumers are increasingly demanding faster, more seamless payment experiences.

As the world of digital payments evolves, so do fraudsters. Advanced AI techniques are enabling them to operate at a larger scale and with greater sophistication. One particularly concerning trend is the rise of Authorised Push Payment fraud, which occurs when consumers or entities are tricked into sending funds to a bank account controlled by a fraudster. APP scams are typically fueled by social engineering attacks involving impersonation.

Global Account Verification offers a powerful tool to combat these threats, as well as counter additional hurdles associated with cross-border payments, including high costs and compliance challenges. Our real-time API enables you to verify both individual and business accounts, validate ownership, and identify potential fraud risks, so you can enhance security, improve operational efficiency, and deliver seamless cross-border payment experiences.
