Capture the claimed payee
Collect the beneficiary name, supplier legal name, country and business identifiers.
PAYMENT & SUPPLIER FRAUD CONTROLS
Company identity controls before payment.
Put identity evidence into the workflow.
Add registry-backed company identity evidence to supplier-payment controls before a new beneficiary or changed payment instruction is approved.

WHEN TO USE IT
Expose company-identity discrepancies before money is released, while keeping bank and fraud controls separate.
Use the company match as structured evidence inside the operating workflow. Keep inputs, results, source, retrieval time and exceptions together.
- A new supplier or beneficiary is being approved for payment.
- Bank details or the invoicing legal entity have changed.
- A payment-review team needs evidence about the company behind the submitted tax ID.
THE WORKFLOW
Four steps. One clear result boundary.
Resolve the company identity
Match the submitted tax ID or company name to the registered legal entity.
Surface discrepancies
Highlight differences in legal name, country, registration details, address or company status.
Combine independent controls
Use the identity result beside bank-account verification, sanctions, invoice and approval checks.
WHAT YOU CAN REVIEW
The record, not just the number.
Fields vary by country and company. VATFind labels absent information instead of inventing a result.
- 01Registered legal entity
- The company associated with the submitted business identifier.
- 02Identifier consistency
- Whether tax and registration fields align with the resolved entity.
- 03Company status context
- Source-reported status and incorporation information when available.
- 04Address context
- Evidence for resolving similarly named suppliers or unexpected jurisdictions.
- 05Review evidence
- Source and retrieval context for the payment-control record.
READ THE RESULT CORRECTLY
A company match is not a safe-to-pay decision.
VATFind does not verify ownership of the destination bank account, invoice authenticity, sanctions clearance, internal authorisation or whether payment instructions were compromised. Company identity is one independent signal in the wider payment-control framework.
