Supplier Check
Centralise supplier identity, payment, and delivery information to identify inconsistencies for review.
The tool compares company, invoice, bank, payment, and Incoterm data. It produces documented risk signals, not a supplier certification.
Data reviewed
- Company identity and contact details
- Invoice and bank beneficiary
- Payment conditions
- Incoterm, delivery, and evidence
Outputs
- Detected inconsistencies
- Payment exposure
- Additional evidence to request
- Explained risk level
Method
Each signal is linked to an explainable rule. The score summarises available information and retains missing evidence as review points.
Check example
A supplier invoice names a Shenzhen company, but payment is requested to a personal account in another country. The tool flags the mismatch between the name and the beneficiary, checks the VAT number in VIES when one is given, looks up the LEI in GLEIF and screens the company against the enabled sanctions lists. Any sanctions candidate caps the score and requires manual review before payment.
Limitations
The check does not guarantee existence, solvency, or future performance. Verify official registers and use payment methods proportionate to risk.
Frequently asked questions
Which sanctions lists are screened?
The OFAC lists (SDN and non-SDN), the US Consolidated Screening List, the EU consolidated financial sanctions list and the UK Sanctions List, refreshed from the official datasets.
Does a no-match result certify the supplier?
No. Screening covers the names and identifiers provided; a no-match is not a due-diligence certificate, and a name-only similarity always requires manual review.
