# Eftsure vs RealPayee

> Eftsure verifies payees (business identity, bank account ownership, sanctions and registry checks) and backs verified payments with a guarantee of up to $1 million against social engineering losses. RealPayee holds bank-detail changes and high-value payments until the real vendor contact or executive confirms out-of-band. Eftsure fits teams wanting payee data plus a guarantee; RealPayee fits teams wanting person-level confirmation and audit evidence.

## What Eftsure is

Eftsure describes itself as a trust layer for enterprise finance teams. Its Know Your Payee capability independently verifies business identity and bank account ownership and re-verifies payees when details change. Payment protection adds sanctions screening, government registry cross-checks and behavioral anomaly detection.

The Eftsure Guarantee covers up to $1 million if a payment to an Eftsure-verified payee is lost to social engineering fraud, for customers who signed a customer agreement after March 10, 2025, subject to Eftsure's terms. Eftsure says it covers 200+ countries and territories and can be deployed by web app, API or managed service.

## Where Eftsure wins

- **Executive and wire requests**, including deepfake voice or video calls, not only vendor records.
- **Lightweight rollout** on NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Bill.com or Ramp, with published starting prices.
- **Confirmation in Slack or Microsoft Teams** for internal approvers, plus SMS for vendors.

## When to choose which

### Choose Eftsure if

- A contractual guarantee against social engineering losses matters to your board or insurer.
- You want payee identity, sanctions and bank ownership data in one platform.
- You pay suppliers across many countries.

### Choose RealPayee if

- Your risk is fake requests that look genuine, including from hacked vendor mailboxes or deepfaked executives.
- You want a named person's confirmation on record for every bank change and large payment.
- You run NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Bill.com or Ramp and want published pricing.
- You want to see it on your own flow first: [book a demo](https://realpayee.com/demo).

## Can you use both?

Yes. Payee data checks and person verification answer different questions. A team could use payee verification for the account and RealPayee to confirm the request with the real contact.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Eftsure really offer a $1 million guarantee?

Eftsure's guarantee page says it provides up to $1 million in coverage if a verified payment is lost to social engineering fraud, for customers who signed a customer agreement after March 10, 2025, subject to its standard terms. Read the terms for exclusions before relying on it.

### Does RealPayee offer a guarantee?

No. RealPayee is a verification control with an audit record. Many teams use that record to support cyber insurance social engineering coverage, but RealPayee does not insure or guarantee payments.

### Can Eftsure and RealPayee be used together?

Yes. Eftsure focuses on payee data and payment checks; RealPayee confirms the real person behind the change or request. They do not overlap much.
