BusinessNet Professional is a safe and user-friendly on-line banking system designed with the objective to satisfy the most demanding requirements of corporate clients.
Verification of Payee is a service, available from October 2025, that allows you to verify whether the entered account number matches the real beneficiary's name when entering SEPA payments (payments in EUR within the eurozone). This function significantly strengthens the security of your finances and also helps prevent errors when entering payment data.
When entering a SEPA payment, you fill in the account number and beneficiary's name (required data). The system performs an automatic check and compares whether the data matches.
Verification of the beneficiary's name is performed immediately during the payment entry and therefore does not affect the processing speed.
The system is designed to be tolerant of minor errors, but at the same time to warn about significant discrepancies that may signal an error or a risky transaction.
Possible results of the check are:
Match – the entered and actually registered beneficiary's name match, the payment will be processed without warning (diacritics, upper/lower case letters, special characters, legal forms of the company are not part of the compliance assessment).
Partial match – the system will recognize minor differences and warn you about them (e.g. typos, word order confusion, etc.). At the same time, the correct recipient name will be displayed, and the payment can be sent.
Mismatch – the entered name is significantly different from the registered name. You will receive a recommendation to verify the data, but the payment can be sent despite the discrepancy.
The obligation to verify the recipient’s name matches the IBAN applies to banks within the euro area and applies to both instant and standard SEPA payments.
VoP for bulk payments from imported files will be available on request.
It protects against fraudulent transfers – e.g. in situations where attackers are trying to lure a payment to someone else's account.
It increases trust in the security of payment transactions.
It helps prevent incorrectly entered SEPA payments.
We are one of the few banks that can do it.
The obligation to implement VoP currently only applies to banks in the eurozone. UniCredit Bank is one of the few Czech banks that offers this service to its clients. This makes it one of the innovators in the field of payment security and strengthens its position as a trusted partner.
