Verification of Payee

Your solution for secure and efficient IBAN name matching

Focus on compliance and security

With the new EU regulation from the European Payments Council on Verification of Payee (VoP), banks and financial institutions are faced with the challenge of enabling IBAN name matching for transfers. This is to ensure that the payee's details are verified before a transaction is authorised – a crucial step in preventing incorrect transfers and making payment transactions throughout the SEPA area even more secure.

Our solution offers banks and financial institutions a powerful, secure and ready-to-use software solution that meets all regulatory requirements. Together with Bank-Verlag as a service provider, we offer you BV VoP – powered by msg, a reliable, scalable SaaS solution that can be seamlessly integrated into your existing systems.
