BankFinder add-in

Payments made by direct debit will more than double over the next 10 years. Yet just one sort-code error or one digit wrong in a bank account or credit card number can result in rejected transactions and declined payments.

The ProgressCRM BankFinder^® Module uses sophisticated checks to prevent these errors and highlight potential fraud attempts while speeding up data entry. Based on BankFinder^® from AFD Software the BankFinder module offers the following benefits:

• Bank account and card details are checked on data entry; not at time of processing.
• Cuts the cost of delayed processing (up to £20 per delayed form).
• Avoids losses from forms that can never be processed resulting in possible lost donations.
• Speeds up collection of bank related data for financial transactions.
• Can help improve customer service by reducing the number of follow up queries.

The BankFinder module provides a simple way to get full information about a Banks details including the Postal address, and for banks on the UK clearing system the BACS (Bankers Automated Clearing Service), CHAPS (Clearing Houses Automated Payment System) and C&CCC (Cheque and Credit Clearing Company) information. The BankFinder Module also provides verification of Account Numbers and Debit/Credit Card Numbers and the transcribing of non-standard account numbers to help eliminate errors when capturing user's payment details.
