Société Générale has teamed up with the fintech Trustpair to help French mid-caps and major groups to prevent and detect wire transfer fraud that has increased with the Covid-19 crisis.

The health crisis linked to COVID-19 led businesses to suddenly change their operations and adapt their working habits. Checking procedures have been weakened, leading to an increase in the risk of fraud. Thus, in 2021, the fight against wire transfer fraud is a major issue for 86% of financial departments.
In response to this reality, Société Générale has joined forces with the fintech Trustpair, which specialises in checking payment data and detecting wire transfer fraud. The aim of this partnership is to offer financial departments a solution for automatically check third-party bank details in France and abroad, and thus avoid any fraud or error. By being integrated within the clients’ IT environment, this solution allows them to master third-party data throughout the Procure-to-Pay processes.
“With the increasing threat of fraud, a single check mistake can be very costly to a company. We are here to relieve them of time-consuming and fallible manual check processes by providing them a digital solution that perfectly meets their needs.” Baptiste Collot, CEO at Trustpair
“After a successful pilot year, this partnership confirms our willingness to support our clients in relaunching their business in complete security, through a reliable and efficient solution that can be easily integrated within the company’s processes”, states Christian Gnanou, Director of Offers and Fight against Payment Fraud at Société Générale.
