Overview

The IBAN-Name Check API by SurePay enables you to verify customer or supplier data. The API performs an instant check on the correctness of your customer and supplier data, such as the name and IBAN combination. Using the API ensures that payments are made to the right creditor, money is collected from the right debtor, and that new customers and suppliers are being validated. Validations can be performed on different levels (e.g. IBAN, name, VAT, company ID) depending on your own business requirements and use case.

The API provides the following standard features:

• Confirmation of the IBAN and name combination: Whether the payee's name and IBAN combination matches the data registered at the bank and to what extend.
• Confirmation on the IBAN validity: Whether the IBAN is active or expired.
• Information about the account: Whether it is an business or private account, and the number of account holders.

Upon request, the API provides the following additional features:

• Confirmation on the company: Whether the IBAN, name, companyID and branch combination matches the data registered at the Chamber of Commerce.
• Confirmation on the VAT: Whether the VAT number matches the company or trade name.
• Confirmation on cross-border IBAN and name combination: Whether the payee's name and IBAN combination matches for international accounts (e.g. FR and IT).
• Information about the Switch Check / Overstapservice: Whether the account has switched to a new bank and the 'switching service' / 'Overstapservice' is active.
• Information about the account age: The age of an account since the date of opening.

The result of the checks are available digitally. They can be directly used in any financial system, for instance your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software or Treasury Management System (TMS). By integrating the IBAN-Name Check API of SurePay into your systems, you make your processes more efficient, safer and reduce the risk of fraud.
