How to Verify a Payment Request Before You Pay

A simple verification routine for invoices, mobile-money requests and unexpected transfers.

What to look for

Pause when a request creates urgency, asks for secrecy or directs you away from an official channel. Verify the request using a phone number, application or website you already trust.

What to do

  • Do not share passwords, PINs or one-time codes.
  • Confirm identities and payment details independently.
  • Keep records and report suspicious activity promptly.
