Example result
Nothing on this page is real. The company, VAT number, bank account and domain are invented to show what a result looks like. No actual supplier was checked.
This is what you get back from one submission. Some checks pass cleanly, one passes but raises something worth mentioning on a phone call, one warns, and one simply does not apply to this supplier. A real result looks exactly like this — there is no summary, no score, and no "safe to pay".
Whatever these checks say, confirm bank details by phone before you pay — using a number you already had, not one from the invoice or email.
VAT / registration
Pass:RegisteredThe registry confirms this number is currently registered to Voorbeeld Handel B.V.. Check that this matches the name on the invoice.
- Number
- NL123456789B01
IBAN
Pass:Checksum validThis IBAN is correctly formed and we can tell which bank it is held at. That is all an IBAN reveals: in almost every country no public register maps an account number to its owner, so this does not confirm the account belongs to your supplier — Poland is the one exception, and a Polish supplier is checked against it below. Your own bank must now offer Verification of Payee when you enter a payee — that is the check that answers ownership, alongside a phone call.

- DE89••••••••••••••3000

- VAT NL / IBAN DE
What the bank payee check does and does not cover →
The VAT number is registered in Netherlands, but the IBAN is issued in Germany. That is common and entirely legal — plenty of businesses bank abroad or collect through a payment provider — but if this supplier's earlier invoices used an account in Netherlands, ask about the change when you phone to confirm.

Sanctions screening
Pass:No matchNo name on the EU, UK and US sanctions lists closely resembles "Voorbeeld Handel B.V.". This is a name check only.

Company register
Not checked:Not checked hereNeither register this tool can search — Companies House and recherche-entreprises — covers the supplier's country (Netherlands), so nothing was looked up here. Where a national register is read for a country, its answer is on the VAT result above.

What to notice
- The VAT number is registered, and the registry returned a name. That name is worth comparing against the invoice — seeWhen the registry name differs from the invoice.
- The IBAN is well formed but issued in another country to the VAT registration. Usually innocent, occasionally the first visible sign that an invoice has been tampered with — seeWhen a supplier banks in another country.
- Sanctions screening found nothing, which is a name check against the EU, UK and US sanctions lists, not a legal clearance.
- The domain publishes no enforced DMARC policy, so anyone can send email that appears to come from it — seeWhat no DMARC policy means for you.
- No company register was searched, because neither of the two this tool can query covers the Netherlands. That card names a company for British and French suppliers; for ten other countries the register is read into the VAT result above instead.
