How it works
One number. Verified once. Paid everywhere.
Stop sending bank details over email. Stop re-typing sort codes from PDF invoices. Paylist is the single source of truth for your business payment details.
- 01
List your business
Verify against Companies House if you're a limited company, or with your VAT number via HMRC if you're a sole trader or partnership. Add your bank details and we encrypt them with per-row keys before they touch the database.
- 02
Share your Paylist number
Customers and suppliers find you by Paylist number or business name. You decide who can see what — public, on request, or private.
- 03
Stay in sync, automatically
When your details change, your contact record updates in every connected Xero, QuickBooks and Sage account — instantly.
Use case: fraud protection
Break the mechanism behind invoice redirection fraud.
Putting bank details directly on invoices creates a single point of failure: customers treat the invoice as a trusted payment instruction. Fraudsters exploit that trust by intercepting emails, spoofing domains or requesting fraudulent bank-detail changes.
Paylist replaces email-based payment instructions with a secure, verified source of supplier bank details, reducing the opportunity for social engineering, internal error and misdirected payments.
- Stops a single email or altered invoice from becoming the source of truth for payment instructions.
- Reduces invoice redirection and mandate fraud by using verified, centrally managed bank details.
- Supports stronger controls with approval workflows, known-contact verification and audit-ready payment data.
