Payee Check
by Verdict L402 in Security & trust
Invoice-fraud guard for AI agents that pay bills. Detects supplier bank-detail change fraud (BEC) before payment: checks the IBAN and sender domain against your supplier record (lookalike domains included), then reads pressure and off-channel requests. Returns ok, verify_callback or freeze_payment.
