eftsure
Council has implemented the eftsure software solution as part of its accounts payable process to improve security measures and reduce the risk of fraud when paying suppliers. The threat and incidences of cyber fraud, including email phishing scams and payment details being altered fraudulently have unfortunately become more prevalent.
Suppliers who do business with Council will need to have their details verified by eftsure before payment can be made. Any requested changes to bank account details will need to be re-verified. This may involve an email and/or telephone call from eftsure to verify the business name, ABN and bank details that have been provided to Council.
eftsure is a leader in fraud detection and payment protection, which enables Council to verify banking details in real-time before processing EFT payments. Essentially, eftsure assists Council in ensuring that payments are made to the correct bank account.
Due to the nature of their service, eftsure treats privacy and security with the utmost importance. All data is encrypted, kept private and located within Australia.
If you have any questions about Council’s use of eftsure, or wish to discuss further, please contact Council’s Accounts Officer on (08) 8391 7200.
