Check a supplier before you pay
Paste the details from the invoice. In seconds, this page cross-checks them against official sources and shows you what does not line up: a VAT registered to a different name, a three-week-old website, a bank account in a country the company is not registered in, an email that is not really theirs. A mismatch is a reason to verify, not proof of fraud: a real exporter can bank abroad, and inside SEPA refusing an account for its country alone is itself unlawful.
On the other side of the deal, shipping goods to an unknown buyer on credit? Check the buyer before you ship.
Why this works
Every fact on an invoice can be checked somewhere: the VAT register answers whether the number is valid, and in most member states also which name it is registered to, the domain registry knows the date, the IBAN carries its country and checksum. A fraudster can fake any ONE of them convincingly, but keeping all of them coherent with each other and with the public record is nearly impossible. That is why this check looks for contradictions between independent sources instead of scoring the company, and why an honest unknown is shown where a source did not answer.
Questions
What does the pre-payment check actually verify?
It cross-examines the details of one invoice against independent official sources: the VAT number against the EU VIES register (validity, and whose name it is registered to where that member state returns the name), the website domain's registration age against public RDAP records, whether the sender's email domain matches the company's website, whether the IBAN passes its international checksum and belongs to the same country the company is registered in, and the name against consolidated sanctions lists. Fraud is rarely visible in any single source; it shows up as contradictions between them.
Why check these things before paying a new supplier?
Supplier impersonation and payment-diversion fraud happen at exactly this moment: a convincing invoice, a small change in bank details, an email address one letter away from the real one. A valid-looking VAT that belongs to a different company, or a three-week-old domain behind a supplier claiming decades of history are the classic tells, and each takes seconds to catch when checked together. A bank account in another country is not one of them by itself: it is a reason to confirm the beneficiary name and the payment instructions through a contact you obtained independently.
Is a green result a guarantee the supplier is safe?
No. It means the details you pasted do not contradict each other or the public record. It is strong evidence you are dealing with the company you think you are, not a guarantee of their performance. Where we could not check something, the report says unknown rather than pretending.
What does it cost and do you store my data?
The check is free and needs no account. The details are used to run the checks and are not published; we do not resell what you paste.
