Import your contacts in bulk
Bring your existing payees into ezyshield in one step. Upload a CSV of contacts during onboarding or at any time from the contacts list, and ezyshield creates and queues them for verification automatically — no manual entry, no row-by-row setup. New customers can be fully operational minutes after signing up.Invoices without a valid ABN are automatically blocked
Invoices that arrive without a valid ABN are now flagged as Invalid and stopped before any contact is created. Fraudulent and malformed invoices are caught at the door, keeping unverifiable payees out of your payment workflow rather than surfacing the risk only after the fact.Auto-correct recurring payee details
When an invoice arrives with a name that differs from a contact you’ve already verified, ezyshield offers to auto-correct it. Opt in with one click and future invoices for that contact are aligned to the verified details for you — so recurring suppliers stop tripping the same avoidable mismatch. Turn it off again whenever you like.Re-verify a failed contact in one click
When a contact fails verification, an Auto-verify option appears. One click updates the business and account name to the ABN’s registered entity and re-runs the check — clearing common name mismatches without editing anything by hand.Choose when to contact a payee for identity verification
Adding or importing a contact no longer automatically texts the contact person to verify their identity. By default, only the account name check runs, confirming the bank account name matches the business or individual on the contact — without involving the contact person.A new Verify identity toggle on the contact person section puts you in control. When enabled, the contact person is asked to verify their identity with a government-issued ID and is notified by email and/or SMS to complete the process. This unlocks ongoing monitoring for AML, PEP screening, and sanction checks so you can confirm the individual is safe to pay and work with.Set how long verifications stay valid
Set a verification expiry period for your organization. Once a verification reaches that age it’s marked expired and your team is notified, so stale payee details surface for a fresh check instead of being trusted indefinitely.Account-only verifications (Confirmation of Payee)
Create verifications with only bank account details when business or individual identity verification and correlation is not required.This gives API integrations a lighter Confirmation of Payee path for checking an account name, BSB, and account number, while keeping business and individual verification flows available when stronger payee correlation is needed.Renamed Verification checks to check_results Breaking Change
The checks attribute on the Verification object has been renamed to check_results to reduce naming ambiguity between automated check logs and user-initiated Check objects.Concept Clarification
verification.check_resultsis a historical record of the automated background checks run by the system during the initial verification process.- The Check object represents a separate, ongoing monitoring check that you trigger after completion to ensure details haven’t maliciously diverged.
Make sure to update references from
checks to check_results.
