Vendor bank-change policy

Use this as the default rule for any change to ACH, wire, routing, account, or payment method.

  • Never update vendor payment instructions based on email alone.
  • Call the vendor using a number already in vendor master records, a signed contract, or another trusted source.
  • Require dual approval for every payment-instruction change.
  • Document caller, number used, date, time, and verification outcome.
  • Hold payment if the requester refuses callback or pressures AP to bypass controls.

Fake invoice hold triggers

Any one trigger should pause payment until AP completes verification.

  • Bank details changed.
  • Reply-to mismatch or free-mail finance contact.
  • Urgent wire, same-day payment, secrecy, or executive pressure.
  • Missing PO match or first-time vendor.
  • New bank country, new payment method, or unusual amount.
