LSEG expands global account verification to 45 countries, helping firms secure cross-border payments, meet VoP requirements, and prepare for PSD3/PSR.
The demand for efficient, secure, and cost-effective international transactions has never been higher. Whether you’re a business expanding into new markets, a multinational corporation managing complex supply chains, or a fintech serving end users, securing cross-border payments is essential for driving growth and success.
Global account verification (GAV) is LSEG’s solution for verifying bank account details and ownership before payments are made. It helps organisations confirm that accounts are valid and correctly matched to the intended payee, supporting safer and more efficient cross‑border payments.
GAV coverage has expanded significantly and is now live in 45 countries, including all 20 Eurozone markets. This footprint covers around 75% of G20 countries and 5 of the G7, aligning verification capabilities with many of the world’s most active payment corridors.
Expanded coverage also supports evolving regulatory and scheme requirements. GAV helps organisations meet Verification of Payee (VoP) requirements and supports readiness for PSD3 and the new Payment Services Regulation (PSR), enabling a more consistent approach to compliance across jurisdictions.
With broad live coverage today and further expansion underway, global account verification supports organisations operating across borders—helping them apply consistent account checks as international payment volumes grow.
