Validate payment details
before money moves

Incorrect or outdated bank details can result in rejected payments, manual investigation and unnecessary delays.
Fin Codes API lets you validate banking identifiers as soon as they enter your system - during customer onboarding, supplier setup, payout creation or payment processing.

Catch invalid payment details early

Validate the format and structure of banking identifiers before submitting a payment.

02

Identify the financial institution

Retrieve structured bank, branch and location details from each submitted identifier.

03

Use one integration for global coverage

Handle international and local bank codes through a single, consistent REST API.

Check that the payee name matches the account

Compare the submitted payee name with the account-holder information for a SEPA IBAN before approving a payment.

  • Catch incorrect or outdated payee details
  • Add the check only where it is needed
  • Act on a clear verification result
