Confirmation of Payee (CoP)
The deadline to implement a Confirmation of Payee (CoP) service is 31st October 2024 which is fast approaching. If you're not sure of the best way forward, then talk to us. tell.money will help you determine the best way of participating, either directly or via a PSP Aggregator (we're happy to support both models).
Benefits of CoP
CoP is an important tool in the fight against the rise of APP fraud (Authorised Push Payment fraud). APP fraud happens when a fraudster ticks someone into sending a payment to an account outside of their control. There are more incidents of fraud than any other crime type in the UK, with App fraud accounting for 40% of fraud losses in 2022 (nearly £500 million).
Prevent Fraud
CoP has been proven to reduce Authorised Push Payment (APP) Fraud and invoice related fraud.
Reduce Mis-directed Payments
Allow an account names to be checked before
a payment is initiated or collected.
Account Holder Confidence
Provide greater confidence that payments are being sent, and collected from, the intended account holder.
Reduced Losses
Provides a deterrent to fraudsters, helping to protect PSPs and their customers from financial losses.
Features
tell.confirm is a fully managed SaaS solution, providing PSPs and Financial Institutions and their partners with a simple, effective, and fast way to meet their Confirmation of Payee obligations.
Certified to meet Pay.UK standards, the service can be configured to support ‘CoP Requester’, ‘CoP Responder’ and ‘Payer Name Verification’ services individually or as a combined package.

How do I participate in Confirmation of Payee?
You can participate directly, or via an Aggregator.
Direct Model
As a regulated and approved Payments Service Provider (PSP), you can participate in CoP directly, by building in-house or by partnering with an approved CoP provider such as tell.money.
Aggregator Model
Introduced by Pay.UK to provide a simpler model that should support a larger number of organisations to participate in CoP.
Under this model, an Aggregator like tell.money can provide CoP services to PSPs and corporate organisations.
