A crisis of trust: European and global verification brings safety to payments
0 This content has been created by the Finextra editorial team with inputs from subject matter experts at the funding sponsor. Verification of Payee (VoP) has rapidly become an essential aspect of banking and payments, ensuring security and safety in payments transactions. By October 2025, all European Payments Service Providers (PSPs) using SEPA instant and non-instant transfers will need to verify payee account details before processing payments. As the EPC's deadline is fast approaching, PSPs must urgently implement the VoP scheme or risk falling behind regulatory compliance and industry standards. The European Instant Payments Regulation and EPC VoP scheme requires all credit transfers across the Eurozone to be accompanied by a match of the account beneficiary's name. To comply, almost 5,000 European financial institutions will need to introduce a Routing and Verification mechanism (RVM) to make VoP requests and responses. Shedding light on the subject, Finextra spoke to Michael Moon, head of strategic market development at iPiD. This article outlines the main challenges facing VoP adoption, the solutions offered by third-party providers, and what VoP adoption will accomplish for the faster payments industry, both nationwide and on a global scale. Moon states: 'In the instant payments era, if you don't have the protections against the fraud and mistaken payments, your business is going to become a lot harder to operate.' Why is the VoP scheme essential? As instant payments increase, so does fraud and so must global verification confirmation services, as Moon points out. The impersonation and manipulation tactics that are being used by fraudsters to authorise payments have created what Moon labels a 'crisis of trust.' Verification of the payee is of critical significance to prevent fraud, and so the VoP mandate is arriving at a critical time to accompany instant payments growth as it continues to skyrocket. According to Moon, 'the world has been introduced to faster payments for many years now. Instant payments are incredibly pervasive across many countries in the world. Certainly in Europe, there have been efforts to increase instant payments. 'More recently, the European Commission introduced a regulatory package known as the IPR, or Instant Payments Regulation, and that came from dissatisfaction in Europe with the level of adoption of instant payments in the market. What the regulation made clear is that, if you are a payment service provider in the business of making credit transfers, you need to offer the ability to both send and receive payments on an instant basis,' states Moon. Recognising the potential risks that accompany speed, the regulator, with the benefit of international evidence such as the UK's Faster Payments system, acknowledged that instant payments inevitably leads to greater fraud risks. As such, the widespread adoption of instant payments could not be pushed forward in isolation, without appropriate safeguards. Hence, the VoP mandate was born. VoP, while not a silver bullet, has had a direct result on clamping down on fraudsters. In 2023, the UK's equivalent initiative Confirmation of Payee (CoP) led to a 17% decrease of APP fraud in 2023. According to data from Fortra in 2025, 77% of businesses uses CoP to prevent fraud and 96% agree that CoP is effective in reducing fraudulent transactions. Challenges to satisfy the approaching deadline A major challenge that financial institutions will need to overcome is managing their time wisely. Meeting the 9 October deadline requires phases of testing to be completed by July to ensure full readiness by the autumn, which sets PSPs on a tight timeline for preparation. Furthermore, global cross-border fragmentation adds another layer of complexity to meeting the deadline. Organisations that operate in multiple markets have more regulatory requirements to navigate. Moon added that large banks and payments firms that have a significant portfolio of corporate clients will also have to manage the complications of providing verification services for them as compared to individual customers. Third party providers can offer verification and validation schemes that understand and can streamline the transaction process. Moon points out that institutions looking to standardise their services across multiple markets and customer bases can gain support from third party providers that are best placed to serve their validation needs: 'These third party suppliers can help with the specific processes of making VoP requests and responding to those requests, as well as integrating with and orchestrating transaction activity with various services that need to be consumed to perform this. For example, there is a centralised electronic addressing service, the EPC Directory Service, which is a digital address book that identifies the recipient of these requests. Third parties, the RVMs, are the traffic police; sending, receiving, and responding on behalf of the payment service providers.' Moon mentions how these third parties can offer a Know Your Payee (KYP) scheme aimed at standardising responses and solving dissonance in global transactions. Using iPiD as an example, Moon highlights how global KYP providers do the work of connecting services and creating a standardised response to the sender of any validation or verification request: 'Financial organisations get the benefit of global coverage and reach to different verification services and actually standardising that back into their environment, so they don't need to deal with the different levels of capturing and presenting data.' Moon further explains that there are two forms of verification services that can be provided to PSPs: A lite provider that directs the traffic, managing requests and responses. A full provider which offers more in-depth features that manage the level and scale of verification activity throughout Europe, such as having records of history and transaction activity to ensure a request was made and provide evidence of that request and transaction if needed. The liability scheme that is soon to be introduced will hold PSPs accountable for any loss due to fraud or scams, which is why it is key to have evidence of transactions and transparency through the VoP scheme. Outside of scam and fraud, major inefficiencies such as mistaken payments and amending errors in the payments process can be resolved through VoP protocols. Moon emphasises that improving defenses against scams both at a local level and a global level are essential, as verification is being introduced in various forms in different nations. Moon concludes: 'As you move money faster, the risks of losing money to fraud and scams, particularly with the commensurate level of digitalisation in payment services, fraud losses and risks increase. We expect that all payments, whether they are local, in a single country like the UK or within the European marketplace, or payments that are conducted cross border and globally, we see all those payments having an upfront form of validation or verification. We think that is a necessary way to operate in the future.'

Average home sale ‘being agreed at £16,000 below asking price'
House sellers are agreeing sales at £16,000 below the asking price typically, according to a property website. Zoopla, which said the mean average asking price is £367,000, added that it is 'important that sellers are realistic with their expectations on price,' as home buyers return to the market after the Easter holidays. Buyers have more choice, with 13% more homes on the market than a year ago, according to Zoopla's figures. Some lenders have recently changed their mortgage affordability calculations, enabling some people to borrow higher amounts, and the website said this is supporting the growth in sales. The website also said that, within England, the North West is the hottest housing market for price rises. Higher home values and rents in bigger cities such as Manchester and Liverpool are pushing housing demand into nearby areas, boosting house prices, Zoopla said. It said that Blackburn has seen 5.8% annual house price growth, Wigan has seen a 4.4% annual rise and Birkenhead has recorded a 4.1% annual increase in house prices. An increased number of homes for sale in southern England is significantly boosting buyer choice and keeping price growth in check, the website said. It said there are 21% more homes for sale in the South West than a year earlier, 17% more in London and 15% more in the South East. Widened choice, along with affordability constraints, explains why house price growth is less than 1% across the regions of southern England, from 0.5% in the South East to 0.9% in the South West, Zoopla said. There are just 3% more homes for sale in the North West of England and 5% more in Scotland than a year ago. House prices in Scotland have seen 2.9% annual growth on average. Richard Donnell, executive director at Zoopla, said: 'There are more sales and stronger house price increases in northern regions of England and Scotland, where homes are more affordable. In southern regions of England, affordability continues to weigh on price inflation and the number of sales being agreed. 'Sellers and buyers need to adopt different tactics based on where they live across the UK; however, all sellers need to keep their feet on the ground and be realistic on pricing expectations. 'We expect sales to keep rising over the second half of the year, with UK home values on track to be 2% higher by the end of the year.' Martin Bennett, owner of Blackburn-based Crown Estates and Lettings Agents, said: 'Business is booming in Blackburn, with increased demand for properties both at the lower and top end of the market. 'From my experience, properties that are priced correctly are going under offer within two weeks of being listed, while it's not uncommon to have 10-plus potential buyers on the first day of viewings.' Tom Bill, head of UK residential research at Knight Frank said: 'Buyers can see there is a healthy supply of property on the market this spring, which means they have become choosier.' Matt Thompson, head of sales at London-based estate agent Chestertons, said: 'There has been a stark uplift in agreed sales in May and as buyer demand remains strong, we also expect a busier-than-usual summer market.' Sarah Coles, head of personal finance, Hargreaves Lansdown said: 'There are now plenty of (mortgage) deals priced at under 4%, which opens up affordability for so many more buyers.'
