Real-Time Bank Account Verification for UK Businesses
Simunix bank verification confirms that a sort code and account number are valid, active and belong to the account holder your records name, before a single payment is made.
Request a DemoWhy Bank Verification matters
Fraudulent bank details and typos in account numbers cost UK businesses millions in misdirected payments and recovery costs each year. Once funds leave your account to an incorrect destination, retrieval is slow and often incomplete.
Regulated firms processing payroll, supplier payments or customer refunds must demonstrate that bank details were validated at the point of entry. Manual checks are error-prone and create bottlenecks at scale.
Open Banking-era payment schemes and the reimbursement obligations introduced by the PSR mean that Confirmation of Payee and bank detail validation are no longer optional for organisations processing significant payment volumes.
How Simunix solves it
Simunix cross-references supplied sort code and account number data against UK banking directories and identity records, returning a match verdict on the account holder name within milliseconds.
The verification runs through the Simunix API, integrating directly into your payment onboarding, payroll, or refund flows. No redirection, no manual intervention required at the point of data capture.
Results include a structured verdict on account validity, account type, and name match confidence, giving your finance and compliance teams the auditable evidence they need for payment due diligence.
Key benefits
Prevent misdirected payments
Validate sort code and account number combinations in real time before authorising any outbound payment, eliminating the operational cost of recovery for typos and fraudulent account substitution.
Name match confidence
Account holder name matching returns a structured confidence verdict rather than a binary pass or fail, giving compliance and finance teams the nuance needed to flag edge cases without blocking legitimate payments.
Payment scheme alignment
Supports Confirmation of Payee obligations and PSR reimbursement due-diligence requirements, with a full audit trail of every verification event for regulatory evidencing.
Bulk and real-time modes
Run single lookups at the point of data capture or batch-validate large supplier or payroll datasets overnight, with the same API handling both without additional integration work.
