Banks and their corporate clients are at risk

Organizations are under a constant threat of losing millions of dollars to payment fraud and are looking to their bank for solutions. Banks themselves are at risk for failing to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.

In today’s world, fraudsters have become exceedingly adept at leveraging sophisticated technologies, such as deep fake AI, to hack an organization’s communications and business systems. They then execute fraudulent payments and compromise signatory rights. This is why banks cannot afford to rely solely on signatory rights when authorizing B2B payments.

FAQs

What does PaymentKnox™ for Banks do?

PaymentKnox™ for Banks is a SaaS fraud protection platform that banks offer to their corporate clients. It applies three layers of verification to every payment before it is authorized – going far beyond what signatory rights alone can provide.

The three layers:

  • Legitimacy check – verifies the beneficiary is authorized in the corporate client’s ERP
  • Account ownership verification – confirms the beneficiary actually owns the destination account, anywhere in the world
  • Sanctions screening – screens the account against global sanctions lists

Signatory rights confirm who approved the payment – they cannot confirm where the money is actually going. With today’s fraud technology:

  • Deepfake AI can convincingly clone the voice or video of an authorized signatory
  • Social engineering can manipulate employees into approving fraudulent instructions
  • BEC attacks can make fraudulent approval requests look entirely legitimate

nsKnox verifies the destination account independently – so even if a fraudster successfully impersonates an authorized person, the payment still won’t reach a fraudulent account.

  1. Legitimacy and authorization – the target beneficiary account is checked against the corporate client’s approved vendor list in their ERP system
  2. Account ownership verification – nsKnox confirms the target recipient is the rightful, verified owner of the account – in any country, using authoritative banking data
  3. Sanctions screening – the target account owner is screened against global sanctions lists to ensure compliance

All three checks happen automatically before every payment is released.

PaymentKnox™ for Banks creates tangible value for the bank itself:

  • New revenue stream – offered as a premium fraud protection service to corporate clients
  • Reduced liability – minimizes risk of lawsuits from clients who suffer payment fraud
  • Regulatory compliance – supports obligations to detect and prevent financial crime
  • Client retention – increases stickiness with high-value corporate clients who need this level of protection
  • Competitive differentiation – distinguishes the bank’s offering in an increasingly competitive payments market
