FACT SHEET

More information about the alseda VOP – SAP S/4HANA & PE solution.

alseda Consulting offers the alseda VOP solution for banks to implement the “Verification of Payee” process.

(Here: The solution for companies – VOP pre-verification)

Since October 2025, banks in the Eurozone are required to perform “Verification of Payee” (VOP) for SEPA Credit Transfers (SCT) and SEPA Instant Transfers (SEPA Inst.). This requires the payer’s bank to request confirmation from the payee’s bank that the payee’s name provided by the payer matches the account holder’s name at the payee’s bank.

The alseda VOP (Verification of Payee) is an SAP add-on for initiating a comparison of IBAN and account holder for bank accounts. The VOP solution can be quickly and easily integrated into standard SAP applications, either on-premise or via the SAP Cloud.
