Accounts payable

Payment Check

protect the payment run from start to finish
ensure that every payment is made only to validated payees and validated accounts

Finance & IT systems are under attack

Today’s payment processes are typically fragmented, involve multiple stakeholders, and do not focus on assuring the validity of the payee and their bank account details. 

This approach makes for a vulnerable process where data in finance and IT operations systems can be easily manipulated by both internal and external threat actors. 

What organizations need today is a technology-driven and automated approach to making sure that no one within or outside the organization can manipulate payment file data.

FAQs

What is Payment Check™?

Payment Check™ is nsKnox’s final-stage transaction scanning solution. It scans every payment in a batch immediately before the payment run is submitted – acting as a last line of defense to catch anything that may have changed or been manipulated after earlier controls ran.

Example: A payment file is approved and ready for release. Between approval and submission, a bad actor alters an account number. Payment Check™ detects the discrepancy and flags it before the funds leave.

For every transaction in the payment batch, Payment Check™ checks:

  • Whether the destination account is validated and authorized in the nsKnox database
  • Whether the account details match the validated payee record on file
  • Whether any payment instructions have been altered since the last validation
  • Whether any new payees or account numbers appear that haven’t been validated


Any discrepancy triggers an alert before the payment is released.

Yes. Payment Check™ processes large volumes in real time with no delays to your payment cycle. It is designed to scale with the needs of enterprise finance teams handling thousands of transactions per run.
