Who is Eftsure? 

Eftsure is Australia’s market leader in payment fraud prevention. Specifically designed for businesses, our end-to-end solution safeguards more than $120b in B2B payments per year. Our mission is to build a safer business community. With a large and continuously growing database of verified supplier details (the only one of its kind), we use multi-factor verification to give businesses greater knowledge and control over onboarding suppliers, receiving invoices and making payments. In short, we ensure our customers never pay the wrong people – and that your hard-earned payment doesn’t go to a fraudster instead. 
 
By completing our verification process, you’ll help minimise cybercrime and become part of a secure community.  

The Verification Process


Our two-step verification process ensures you can be paid easily and securely. Firstly, you’ll be prompted to complete an online form. The information requested may differ from customer to customer.  

From here, you have two options for the second step of the verification process:  

  • Bank link. This allows you to select your relevant bank account details from your bank without you needing to enter in the bank account details manually.  You’ll be asked to log into your bank, which provides us with an instant verification of your bank account details if they are cross-matched against formal records from the Australian Business Register (ABR).  The direct bank link option uses Yodlee, who are  a global leader in data aggregation, data analytics and consumer-permissioned financial data sharing. Yodlee are also formally accredited for Open Banking by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) to provide Consumer Data Rights (CDR) data. As part of the Yodlee solution, the Supplier logs into the banking portal via Yodlee (or directly into their bank through Open Banking where supported) where user credentials are not saved or stored. This process is also external and not visible to Eftsure where we only receive the nominated account details after the supplier has selected the account to verify.
  • Phone call. One of our verification analysts will contact you and undertake an initial screening validation process related to information on the submitted online form for legitimacy and security. The fraud verification analysts will then complete a two way, interactive account number verification process in order to verify the account number, as well as the routing number, account name and EIN.  

Frequently Asked Questions

To ensure the authenticity of the call, you will be quoted the 4-digit reference number that was provided when you completed the online form. Our verification expert will then verbally provide you with the last 3 digits of the account number, and ask you to confirm the remaining digits, BSB, bank account name, and ABN.

Banks don’t match BSBs and Account Numbers to Account Names when making payments.

Cybercriminals often intercept emails between suppliers and their customers (or just email customers directly) and claim the bank details for the supplier have changed (or even change it on legitimate invoices). This is often done without your knowledge. As a result, it is possible for hackers, fraudsters or malicious insiders to change the bank details your customers have on file for you, and route payments intended for you to themselves.

In order to protect your revenue, Australian businesses use Eftsure software to validate all their suppliers’ bank account details and ensure the details they have on file for you are correct.

This one-off verification ensures that payments made to your organisation indeed reach your bank account.

Your customer has authorised Eftsure to perform supplier verification on their behalf. This process reaches out to all of your customer’s suppliers, is a procedural request, and is not related to a specific invoice or payment. Should you wish to further validate the legitimacy of this request, contact the account department of your customer directly.

Cybercriminals often intercept emails between suppliers and their customers (or just email customers directly) and claim the bank details for the supplier have changed (or change it on legitimate invoices). This is often done without the supplier’s knowledge. Banks don’t match payee names with BSB and account numbers. Sometimes, bank account and BSB numbers can be entered incorrectly or, worse, can be changed by cybercriminals. This results in delayed, lost or stolen payments.

By verifying your details with Eftsure, your customers are being assured your details are correct. This allows them to pay you the right amount.

At Eftsure, we take the security of our verification process seriously. As an additional step to ensure the legitimacy of the supplier, we independently source a phone number to contact them in case their mailbox has been compromised. Once we have obtained the phone number, one of our experienced verification experts will personally reach out to you to verify your details over the phone. To ensure the authenticity of the call, you will be quoted the 4-digit reference number that was provided when you completed the online form. Our verification expert will then verbally provide you with the last 3 digits of the account number, and ask you to confirm the remaining digits, BSB, bank account name, and ABN.
