Resources — Vendor Verification & Payment Changes
Vendor Verification & Payment Changes
The highest-stakes topic in this library. A vendor asking to change where they get paid is one of the most common openings for payment fraud — and one of the easiest to control for, once the process is written down.
Why This Topic Matters
Identity verification and payment-instruction verification are not the same thing.
Knowing who a vendor is does not confirm where their money should go today. Most of the guidance in this topic exists to keep those two questions separate.
