NameCheck for business

NameCheck is a CommBank service that helps businesses assess account details before payment or account setup. It provides additional insight to support safer and more reliable payment workflows.

NameCheck helps reduce mistaken payments and account detail fraud by identifying potential mismatches or risks before money moves or an account is used.

NameCheck is commonly used during:

• Supplier setup
• Payroll detail capture
• Customer account entry
• Payment workflows

It’s useful where confidence in account details is critical.

NameCheck can be integrated via API and embedded into customer‑facing or internal workflows. This allows checks to happen at the point of entry or later in the process.

No. NameCheck is designed to complement broader industry confirmation services by providing additional context based on CommBank data and experience. Confirmation of Payee (CoP) works by checking the entered name directly against the account name registered by the receiving bank, while NameCheck works by analysing broader payment behaviour and transaction data patterns to assess whether the account details look legitimate and commonly used together.
