Bank-detail changesStop a fake bank-detail change before the payment goes out.

Arkven holds the change, confirms it with a contact already on file, and keeps an evidence pack.

The problem

“We changed our bank account.” Sometimes that email is a lie.

A vendor or an employee asks to be paid somewhere new. The message looks routine. The account does not belong to them. ACH, wire, and instant payments leave quickly, and that money usually does not come back.

The bookkeeper who approved the change is the one the client calls.

The solution

Hold the change. Confirm it with someone you already know. Keep the proof.

  • Hold

    A request to change where a vendor or employee gets paid stays on hold. The new account is not used yet.

  • Confirm

    Arkven asks a contact already on file — by email or SMS. Not the address on the change request.

  • Log proof

    The request, the contact used, the reply, and the time are saved in an evidence pack.

How it works

Built for a firm that runs payables for many clients.

  1. 01

    Connect clients

    Add the small businesses whose accounts payable and payroll you run.

  2. 02

    Flag bank-detail changes

    When a vendor or employee asks to be paid somewhere new, the change is held.

  3. 03

    Confirm with a known contact

    Reach the email or mobile number already on file. Ignore the contact details in the request.

  4. 04

    Download the evidence

    Keep a pack of what was asked, who confirmed it, and when.

Who it’s for

Bookkeepers, CPA firms, and fractional CFOs.

Firms that run accounts payable and payroll for more than one small business. You see the request to change where someone gets paid. If the payment goes to the wrong account, you are the person who has to explain it.

The same check applies to ACH, wire, and instant payments.

Planned connections, not available yet: QuickBooks, Xero, BILL, and Gusto.

What we don’t do

We don’t touch the money.

  • We don’t move money.
  • We don’t hold funds.
  • We don’t replace your bank.
  • We don’t replace your accounting or payroll system.

We make the verification, and the record of it, easy to keep.

Pilot

A free pilot for a small group of bookkeeping firms.

We are looking for firms that manage payables or payroll for several small businesses and want to try the workflow on real bank-detail changes. There is no charge for this group.
