Payee checking

For added security and your peace of mind, when making GBP and EUR payments, we'll automatically check the payee details to ensure the name and account information match the information held by their bank.

Remember to exercise caution when creating payments and payees. The payee checking service only checks account details and doesn't protect against all types of fraud. If something doesn't seem right about a payment or payee details, stop and question it, even if the details match.
