THE DIFFERENCE · PROTECTING THE NUMBERS

Does your system stop a payment when a vendor’s bank details change?

The most common way businesses lose money to fraud is a convincing email saying a vendor has new bank details. Our bill processing stops that payment until the change is confirmed through a number you already trust.

SIDE BY SIDE

What your software does, and what we add

You keep the accounting software you use today. The platform works from its standard reports.

TYPICAL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

  • Bill capture, approval workflows, and paying bills from the software
  • No hard stop on changed remittance or bank details

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • Bill capture with a hard stop when a vendor’s remit-to address or bank details change
  • The stop clears only after a call to the phone number already on file in the vendor master, never a number on the new request
  • Duplicate checks against both open and paid bills
  • A second approver above an amount you set
HOW IT WORKS
1

Every bill is read and compared to the vendor’s record on file.

2

If payment details differ, payment stops until someone calls the vendor at the number on file.

3

Duplicates and large bills are held for review before anything is paid.

WHY IT MATTERS
A changed bank account on a vendor bill stops cold.

Money sent to a fraudster’s account is rarely recovered. Stopping the payment is the only control that reliably works.

No control eliminates fraud. These controls are built to stop the most common vendor-payment schemes.
