Validate gives our banking clients the ability to provide their clients with a seamless payment cleansing experience ensuring faster, error free payments. Validate can proactively keep Beneficiary details clean for Transfers, DD's, Payment Files and Mobile Payments saving them time and money.

How we solve the issue of failed bank payments

Apply Financial simplifies the payment process by checking, payments at payment entry allows our customers to digitally send global bank payments without any manual intervention so that the payment straight through processes and our customers no longer have to deal with failed and returned payments and the time, cost and hassle of sorting out the lengthy process of payment repair.

The two main reasons why a bank payment fails is either someone 'fat fingering' inputting the wrong information or using out of date bank information (data). Checking at payment entry that only accurate bank payment details are entered with the correct supporting information, such as payment purpose codes for certain countries, holidays do not affect payment date and several other key information points, allows the payment to reach its intended recipient on time.

A failed payment costs on average around £50 to repair which mounts up considerably but the real cost can be the bad relationship that is created when the intended recipient does not receive the money on time.

How we ensure Global Bank Payments are correct

Apply Financial's solutions, Validate and Validate Data Manager can be consumed as API's and online browsers. They are cloud based and are a combination of global payment reference data, algorithms and web service functions that deliver a complete solution. They reduce the time and cost of making digital bank payments, whilst improving the customer experience. This is achieved by guiding the customer to only input the correct payment details at payment entry, for the bank this means they know the payment will STP and reach the payment destination on time without any manual intervention saving time and money and for the business or individual making the payment, they know that the payment will not bounce, they will not receive bank charges, and the payment will reach its intended recipient on time.

Staying compliant with payment rules and bank changes

Validate's global payments reference data is updated on a daily basis. We only get our data and rules from official sources, so our customers no longer have the headache and the overhead of daily data gathering, payment rule updates and compliance when Validate maintains all these from official sources around the globe.
