Module 03 of 04 — Clydesdale Shield
Stops duplicate and fraudulent invoices before they are paid.
The problem
Without Shield
Duplicate payments and bank-detail fraud are hard to spot by eye, and often found only after the money has gone.
With Shield
Clydesdale Shield protects every payment. Using similarity models and behavioural analytics it identifies duplicate invoices, changed bank details, round-number anomalies and suspicious supplier activity, then learns from your reviewers’ decisions to reduce false positives and scale fraud prevention across the whole invoice flow.
How it works
How Shield works
Four steps, in plain English.
- 01
Check
Every invoice is compared with past invoices and the supplier’s normal behaviour.
- 02
Flag
Likely duplicates, changed bank details and unusual patterns are flagged with a risk score.
- 03
Review
A person decides: block the payment or mark it safe. Nothing is paid while it is flagged.
- 04
Learn
Each decision is logged for audit and used to reduce false alarms over time.
Where your team comes in
Your reviewers make the final call on every flagged invoice, with a full audit trail.
