Supplier verification with Eftsure
Why we use Eftsure
Kaipara Moana Remediation (KMR) has partnered with Eftsure to make sure payments go to the right people. This helps protect against invoice fraud and cybercrime.
Eftsure checks that supplier details – like your business name and bank account – are correct before we make a payment. Many councils and organisations in NZ and Australia use Eftsure for this reason.
Eftsure is recognised for protecting supplier payments against fraud and error by validating NZBN, GST registration status and bank account details to ensure payments are made to the intended recipient.
Why you’re seeing this
If you supply goods or services to KMR, you may get an email from Eftsure asking you to confirm your details. This is safe and approved by KMR.
We know some suppliers have been told never to share bank details. This process is different – it’s secure and helps protect you and us from fraud.
All suppliers and subcontractors must register with Eftsure and verify their details before doing business with us. The business information required for verification includes:
- Bank details
- Trading name
- GST registration
- Company contact information
How the process works
- You’ll get an email from Eftsure.
- Click the secure link in the email.
- Confirm your business and bank details.
Done – you’re verified.
Important:
KMR will never ask for passwords or unrelated personal information.
You do not need to pay anything.
How to change your data with Eftsure
It is your responsibility to ensure your details are up to date. Please notify us immediately if your details change, or if you notice any discrepancies. To update your details, contact accounts@kmr.org.nz and ask to be sent an ‘Eftsure change request’.
