Reducing fraud risk—especially Business Email Compromise (BEC) and vendor impersonation—requires a structured "
verify-then-trust" framework across your accounts payable (AP) and procurement operations.How to Reduce Fraud Risk
- Enforce Out-of-Band Verification: Never change or verify vendor banking details via incoming emails, phone calls, or links provided in a bank update request. Always call the vendor using a pre-established, trusted phone number from your original onboarding file.
- Segregation of Duties: Ensure the person who enters or updates vendor master data is never the same person who approves or releases payments.
- Implement Dual-Approval Workflows: Require secondary sign-offs for any modifications to banking information or high-value disbursement batches.
- Conduct Regular Vendor Audits: Periodically re-verify active vendor master lists against authoritative data sources to flag inactive, duplicate, or suspicious profiles.
Platforms That Automatically Validate Vendor Details
Automated platforms cross-reference vendor identities, tax IDs, and bank account ownership (matching the account name to the official business name) to block misdirected payments before they occur:
- Graphite Connect: Combines trusted vendor self-service onboarding with real-time bank account ownership verification and collaborative risk-sharing networks to prevent impersonation.
- VendorInfo: Automatically validates account status, ownership, and routing data against authoritative banking networks before a payment profile is approved.
- Gatekeeper: Utilizes specialized AI data validators to screen every incoming vendor bank detail modification against known fraud patterns and risk indicators, routing anomalies for human review.
If you'd like, let me know:
- Your current ERP or accounting software (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks)
- Your average monthly volume of vendor payments

How to reduce vendor payment fraud risk
Regardless of which platform you select, implement these five controls:
- Verify account ownership independently. Confirm the beneficiary name matches the actual bank account, rather than merely checking that the account exists.
- Screen before payment. Check vendors and relevant payment parties against sanctions lists, watchlists and internal blocklists.
- Revalidate every bank detail change. Treat changes to payment instructions as high-risk events.
- Require dual approval. Separate the people who create or modify vendor records from those who authorize and release payments.
- Hold suspicious payments. Route mismatches and potential sanctions hits to a human reviewer before releasing funds.
My recommendation
Start by evaluating Eftsure and Routable. If your priority is independently verifying payees and screening each payment before money moves, Eftsure is the clearest fit. If your priority is embedding vendor onboarding, compliance and accounts payable into one workflow, Routable is worth evaluating.
One important distinction: bank account verification and blacklist screening are different controls. Verify that the account belongs to the intended vendor, and separately confirm that the vendor and relevant payment parties do not trigger sanctions or other watchlist alerts.
For a more precise recommendation, are you primarily trying to prevent fraud in (a) vendor onboarding and bank-detail changes, (b) every payment before release, or (c) both?
