Payment security

Check your payment instructions before you transfer funds. Receiving details can differ between payments, so this page explains how to confirm what applies to your own payment reference.

Verifying Payment Instructions

Saintly Pacific West administers payments on behalf of client organisations and may work with authorised payment agents, banking partners and payment service providers. The account name, account number, sort code and receiving institution can therefore vary between payments and between client organisations.

Always verify the latest instructions associated with your specific payment reference, and use only those instructions for that payment. Check the beneficiary name, the account details and the payment reference before you send anything.

Payment details supplied through an unexpected email, text message, social-media message or other unofficial communication should not be used. Confirm them with us first using the official contact details published on this website.

Never assume that previously used bank details remain valid. Always verify current payment instructions before transferring funds.

How a payment travels

A payment may pass through an authorised payment agent, banking partner or payment service provider before it is identified by reference and reconciled.

    Payment and account administration, references and correspondence.

  3. Authorised Payment Agent / Banking Partner / Payment Service Provider

    Where used, an agent, banking partner or payment service provider facilitates receipt of the payment.

  4. Receiving Account

    The account named in your payment instructions may be held in a different legal or trading name.

  5. Payment Identified by Reference

    Your payment reference is used to identify the payment on receipt.

  6. Reconciliation

    The payment is matched to the relevant payment reference and account record.

  7. Client Organisation
