Which bank accounts can be checked through Confirmation of Payee?
We respond to Confirmation of Payee (CoP) checks on all Griffin accounts, unless the account holder has opted out.
The name of the account owner is the name that will be checked and matched via CoP. Where an account has a named beneficiary who is different from the owner, we register both names—so a payer can get a match using either.
For dedicated accounts, the account owner is the individual or business that the account belongs to.
For pooled accounts, the account owner will be the company that manages the account on behalf of the members. This could be your company name or the name of a business that operates on your platform.
For more detail on account owners, check out our guide on owners, controllers, and beneficiaries.
