Great news for online banking users in New Zealand! Banks are now required to use the Confirmation of Payee (CoP) system. This new feature significantly enhances security by making it easier to verify payment details, helping you avoid accidentally paying the wrong person or falling victim to a scam.
What if You Accidentally Pay the Wrong Account?
Even with enhanced security, mistakes can happen. If you accidentally transfer money to the wrong account, here's what you should do:
👉 Act Immediately: Contact your bank as soon as you realise the error.
👉 Bank's Role: Banks' ability to reverse payments varies. In most cases, they'll need permission from the recipient to retrieve your money. If consent is given, your funds will be returned.
👉 No Consent? Next Steps: If the bank can't get consent to reverse the transaction, you might need to escalate. For claims up to $30,000, the Disputes Tribunal is your next step. For amounts over $30,000, you'll need to make a claim at the District Court.
👉 Invalid Account Numbers: If you type in an invalid account number, your bank should be able to reverse the transaction, and you typically get your money back within a few business days.
👉 Fees Apply: Be aware that your bank will likely charge a fee for their payment retrieval or credit recovery service, even if they're unable to get your money back.
This new CoP system is a welcome step towards greater financial security for everyone in New Zealand. Stay vigilant and know your rights!

Because trust this strong doesn’t happen by chance. One year? That’s nice. Ten years? That’s a perfect score. But eleven? That’s off the charts.
