Every invoice checked before it is paid
Catch invoice fraud, payment diversion and duplicate payments, every incoming invoice is checked before it is paid.
Account changes caught
A supplier that suddenly wants payment to a new bankgiro or account is the classic hijack, flagged instantly.
Duplicates blocked
The same invoice sent twice (by accident or on purpose) is matched against history and stopped.
Anomalies flagged
Amounts, frequencies and references that break a supplier’s pattern are surfaced for a human look.
Fraud patterns matched
Look-alike senders, fake reminders and pressure wording, matched against known bluffaktura patterns.
A control layer on every incoming invoice
Validation runs automatically as invoices land in the client’s bookkeeping, no extra step for the client, no manual checklist for the firm.
Payee account verification
Bankgiro and account numbers are checked against the supplier’s payment history and registry records. A first-time or changed account is flagged before payment, not discovered after.
Duplicate detection
Invoice numbers, amounts and periods are matched against everything already booked, double billing and re-sent invoices are caught automatically.
Amount & pattern anomalies
Every supplier has a rhythm. Invoices that break it (unusual amounts, odd frequencies, new references) are scored and surfaced for review.
Fraud-pattern matching
Sender domains that imitate real suppliers, fake payment reminders, urgency wording and other known invoice-fraud signatures are matched and flagged.
Supplier identity checks
The issuing company is verified against registries: does it exist, is it active, does it hold F-tax, and is it the company the client thinks it is?
A decision trail per invoice
Every validation result and every human decision (approve, hold, reject) is logged on the invoice, so the firm can always show what was checked.
Frequently asked questions
Does the client have to change how they receive invoices?
No. Vidd reads supplier invoices through the client’s existing accounting system, so the invoice flow (e-invoices, PDF, scanning) stays exactly as it is. Validation happens on what lands in the bookkeeping.
What happens when an invoice is flagged?
It lands in a review queue with the specific reason and the supporting evidence, the supplier’s payment history, the registry data, the matched pattern. A named reviewer approves, holds or rejects, and the decision is logged on the invoice.
Will legitimate invoices get stuck?
The overwhelming majority of invoices pass silently. Flags are reserved for concrete signals (a changed payee account, a duplicate, a pattern match) and thresholds tune themselves to each supplier’s history to keep false positives down.
How is this different from the bank’s own checks?
Banks check at payment time and see one transaction; Vidd checks at booking time and sees the whole relationship, the supplier’s history, the client’s ledger and patterns across the firm’s portfolio. The flag comes while the invoice is still a document, not a completed transfer.
