Before You Pay Workflow

Before approving a payment, confirm the request, the supplier, and the destination through evidence instead of urgency.

Confirm the request belongs to the supplier

Check whether the invoice, PO number, service history, and email domain line up with your existing supplier relationship.

If account details are new or changed, verify through a channel you already trust. A forwarded email or copied signature is not enough.

A safe payment should survive normal review. If the request needs secrecy, speed, or skipped approval, treat it as a verification failure.

PayShield turns the original email into a verdict, evidence, and next steps so the decision is not based on urgency alone.
