RISK
Fraud happens at the moment you send funds
Firms regularly receive bank details by email or over the phone. If those details have been intercepted or falsified, client money goes to a fraudulent account with little chance of recovery, and the financial and reputational cost lands on your firm.

CHECK
A clear answer in seconds
Run the check from your Casera case on the day you send funds. It verifies the firm’s identity, practising address, regulatory membership and actual bank account details together, and returns a plain result: match, match with cautions, no match, or no match with cautions.

PROTECT
Indemnified when it matters
A match result is indemnified up to £250,000 for funds sent on the day of the search, a layer of protection on top of your own professional indemnity cover. If completion slips, re-run the check on the new day at no extra cost.

When should I run the check?
Before any funds transfer, on the day you intend to send the money. The check takes seconds, and the indemnity only covers funds transferred on the same day the search is ordered.
Which firms can I check?
Firms across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. As well as the lender panel database, Confirmly holds data on off-panel firms that are regularly searched against, and can manually verify firms that are not yet in the system.
What does the indemnity cover?
If a match result leads to funds being sent to an incorrect recipient, your firm is indemnified for the value of any unrecovered funds, up to £250,000. It applies to match results only, and to funds transferred on the day the search is ordered. Match with cautions and no match results are not covered.
What if completion is delayed?
Re-run the check on the new day at no additional cost, so the indemnity covers the day you send funds.
