Fully managed SaaS solution, providing you with a simple way to meet your Confirmation of Payee needs.
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is an account name-checking service designed to help reduce misdirected payments and provide greater confidence that payments are being sent, and collected from, the intended account holder for UK domestic payments.
CoP allows an account name to be checked before a payment is initiated or collected. It’s an API based peer- to-peer service, without the need for central infrastructure.
Benefits of CoP
CoP is an important tool in the fight against the rise of APP fraud (Authorised Push Payment fraud). APP fraud happens when a fraudster tricks someone into sending a payment to an account outside of their control. There are more incidents of fraud than any other crime type in the UK, with App fraud accounting for 40% of fraud losses in 2022 (nearly £500 million).
Prevent Fraud
CoP has been proven to reduce Authorised Push Payment (APP) Fraud and invoice related fraud.

How do I participate in Confirmation of Payee?
You can participate directly, or via an Aggregator.
Direct Model
As a regulated and approved Payments Service Provider (PSP), you can participate in CoP directly, by building in-house or by partnering with an approved CoP provider such as tell.money.
Aggregator Model
Introduced by Pay.UK to provide a simpler model that should support a larger number of organisations to participate in CoP.
