Verification of Payee

Verification of Payee (VoP) test data

Verification of Payee (VoP) is a banking service that allows you to verify the account holder's name before making a payment. In the sandbox environment, we provide specific test IBANs that will return predictable responses to help you test your VoP integration.

Test IBANs for VoP

When creating a verification of payee in the sandbox environment, you can use the following test IBANs to receive specific responses:

IBAN	Expected Response	Description
ES8569400001160529041877	`rejected`	This IBAN will always result in a rejected verification
ES6769400001110836662135	`failed` (NO MATCH)	This IBAN will always result in a failed verification
ES3369400001190536473836	`confirmed` (CLOSE_MATCH)	This IBAN will always result in a confirmed verification with a close match
Any other IBAN	`confirmed` (MATCH)	Any IBAN not listed above will result in a confirmed verification with a match

Important: Only the three specific IBANs listed above will return predictable responses. Any other IBAN used in a VoP request will result in a confirmed (MATCH) status.

How it works

Create a verification of payee with one of the test IBANs above
Wait for processing - The verification will be processed automatically after a short delay
Check the result - The verification will transition to either confirmed, failed or rejected status based on the IBAN used

Integration testing

Use these test IBANs to verify that your application correctly handles:

✅ Confirmed verifications - Ensure your app correctly processes match and close match VoP results.
❌ Failed verifications - Ensure your app correctly processes no match VoP results.
⚠️ Rejected verifications - Verify that your app properly handles unexpected rejections.

This allows you to build robust error handling and user experience flows before moving to production.
