Payment Screening: Strengthen Your First Line of Defence Against Fraud & Error
AccessPay’s Payment Screening solution is a powerful safeguard for financial control, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. By applying intelligent, rule-based checks, you can detect suspicious or erroneous transactions before they are processed – reducing risk, preventing monetary loss, and strengthening resilience across your payment operations.
We are proud to work with
Full control over your payment processes
Real-time alerting
Instantaneously scan payment files and receive real-time alerts about any irregularities. No need to worry about delays in your payment runs.
Combat fraud with intelligent, adaptable rules.
Payment Screening continuously builds a profile of what is considered an ‘irregular’ transaction for your organisation. Approved users can update rules at any time to reflect changing risk factors, ensuring you always stay one step ahead of fraudsters and costly errors.
Scan all payment types
Compatible with all domestic and cross-border payments.
Whether you’re processing domestic payments, card payments, or complex international payment runs, Payment Screening supports all outgoing payment types. You can even apply specific rules for different currencies, ensuring global operations remain secure and compliant.
Review & suppress payments
Maintain visibility and control at every stage.
Payment Screening is an alerting tool – it won’t automatically suppress transactions. Instead, flagged payments are reviewed and managed by your authorised users, giving your finance team complete oversight of all outgoing funds.
Improve financial resilience with Payment Screening
There’s never a better time to enhance your financial security than before you become a victim of fraud or experience monetary loss through human error.
AccessPay Payment Screening acts as your financial guardian, adding an extra layer of protection across all your payment processes. By applying rule-based screenings, you can:
- Flag unrecognised creditors
- Detect erroneous payments
- Spot duplicate or suspicious transactions
All before they’re processed, saving you time, money, and reputational risk.
