Add a payee

Every addition runs a confirmation-of-payee style name check: for accounts held on this platform the entered name is compared with the registered account holder name and returns an exact match, a close-but-not-exact match (which names the registered holder and needs an explicit confirmation), or no match (blocked unless an override reason is recorded). Duplicate payees on the same customer — same account identifier, or a near-identical name — are warned about so you can cancel or confirm deliberately.

Checked against the registered account holder name when the account is on this platform.

Compared ignoring case and punctuation, so GB-1000-0002 and gb10000002 are the same account.

Checks & outcome

Nothing checked yet. “Run checks” compares the entered name with the registered account holder name and looks for duplicate payees on this customer, without writing anything.

Disclosure: the confirmation-of-payee check compares against this module's own registered account holder names for on-platform accounts. It is not a connection to a real Confirmation of Payee scheme, and for off-platform identifiers no check can be performed — that case is reported as “not checked” rather than passed.
