Singapore, April 2023 : iPiD Releases New Whitepaper on How Payee Identification is changing the international payments battlefield.

A new whitepaper released by iPiD examines the challenges customers and financial institutions face with a critical step in the payment experience: the identification of a payees and their banking details.

Learning from the successes of domestic payee identification methods, we illustrate the need for global interoperability and explain how iPiD’s Validate API enhances the cross-border payment experience, offering increased certainty in an otherwise complex process through real-time payee validation.

1. The increasing demand for enhanced user experience and the expansion of the digitized payment landscape, encompassing cross-border transactions.

2. The opportunity to improve fraud prevention providing reassurance to payers.

3. The lack of name matching in current payment experiences and the growing necessity for robust validation measures due to the prevalence of Authorised Push Payments (APP) scams and fraud.

4. The regulatory push across the world mandating real-time payee validation.

5. The examination of various domestic payee identification methods, their merits, and a deep dive on the Confirmation of Payee scheme in the United Kingdom.

6. The need and challenges associated with cross-border implementations.

7. The benefits of a comprehensive solution like iPiD’s Validate that consolidates disparate payee identification schemes into a cohesive system for cross-border payments.

IPiD’s Validate is an innovative API solution that interconnects local payee identification schemes and seamlessly integrates with financial institutions’ existing systems to revolutionize the cross-border payment experience. With Validate, banks and fintech can offer an instant payee verification and display a green tick that significantly increases the payer’s confidence to proceed with the transaction.

In summary, the white paper presents an incisive examination of the challenges and requirements in cross-border payments and payee identification. We encourage you to delve into the document, where you will uncover how you can reduce drop-out rate, prevent misdirected payments, and reduce fraud risks in your cross-border payment business.
