Cutting out mistakes at the start

Incorrect bank information can cause delays, failed payments and unnecessary stress. Octopaye wanted a way to validate account details instantly, reducing errors and keeping payroll running smoothly. Efficiency and accuracy were key, helping them deliver a seamless experience for their customers.

Streamlined account verification

Postcoder works by checking the sort code and account number against official banking reference data, confirming that the combination is valid before any payment is made. This reduces the risk of failed payments and ensures the funds go to the correct account every time.

“We chose Postcoder because its super reliable, easy to implement and scales perfectly with our growth” says Rob Gillman, Commercial Director at Octopaye. He adds, “Testing was simple. Having trial credits to try things out was really useful and the support team were always on hand to help.”
