VigilantPay
What Is VigilantPay?
VigilantPay sits between the Payroll and ERP systems of an organisation and their banking platform, analysing proposed payments prior to the bank being instructed to make payment. By being embedded in these payment and approval processes VigilantPay assists by automating robust checks and ensuring separation of duty.
VigilantPay performs a range of cross checks within seconds that are not humanly possible to perform in real-time during the crucial approval stage. When erroneous payments are detected it also highlights that other controls and checks upstream are not working correctly.
Vigilance does this by receiving payment batch files from the company's accounting/payroll system and then uses numerous algorithms and AI smarts to review and compare the BANK ACCOUNTS associated with each proposed payment. It then highlights these to the appropriate authorizer and/or owner so suspicious transactions can be further reviewed PRIOR to payment.
Who Uses VigilantPay?
Any company that has a finance team and wants separation of duties and increased control over existing procedures. We suit typical creditor & payroll spend of $15 Million up to billions per annum

Hi Marina Thank you for the review. We really like hearing when clients don't have anything they would want to change about VigilantPay. It means that our solution is ticking all the boxes.
Great tool to provide peace of mind for supplier payments and payroll
Comments: This is a really good, focussed tool that does just what you want it to do without any distractions. The setup, support and troubleshooting has been fast and excellent.
Pros:
That it provides peace of mind that I am not making erroneous or fraudulent payments by running numerous checks over our payment details independent of our accounting and banking systems.
Cons:
It did seem to suffer from the developer focusing on their AML/CFT offering and neglecting ongoing development for a period of time, but this has changed over the last year or two.

Thank you for your candid insights, Cameron. While not always front of mind Money laundering is a serious issue, often linked to organised crime and even funding for terrorist activities. Our software plays a crucial role in combating these illicit activities. We are dedicated to vigilantly safeguarding our community of users but also the broader community against crime.
Does what we need it to do
Pros:
Easy to set up and manage Quick response to any queries/issues Has helped detect incorrect payment details, especially when we moved to a new finance system
Cons:
Is very slow especially when running the monthly audit risk report which will sometimes not run at all, but also when going into batches to process

Hi Tonia, A consequence of growing pains, crunching a lot of data for more and more customers. Rest assured we are working on this to ensure we keep ahead of demand. Thanks for keeping the pressure on us :)
VigilantPay - A governance godsend!
Comments: The team understand where the risks of fraud sits and are very easy to deal with
Pros:
This system gives visibility of standing data changes as a real time part of the payment approval cycle for both AP and payroll, allowing me to focus my time where the risk sits. It highlights new vendors and employees or those where payment details have changed allowing me to question the team and focus on compliance in process in the correct space, where our risk sits.
Cons:
Nothing comes to mind, the systems delivers exactly what we need

Thank you for your review Paul. It's nice to see another happy client and we really value feedback from our customers.
Very Useful Product
Pros:
Keeps good track of historical AP and Bank numbers to make sure payments will be going to the correct party.
Cons:
When there is a mistake, you cannot correct within vigilantpay itself to exclude to problem payment. You must go back into the batch file remove the line.

Hi Alex We appreciate your feedback. By design a user cannot edit the batch file within VigilantPay. This is part of the protection of the data for a client. If a user could edit within VP then this would then not match the data within the ERP and or payroll system. So any errors that VP finds does need to be corrected at the source. Stopping errors before payment is made is one of the core functions of VP.
Matvin Group
Pros:
Easy to use and check all bank accounts, different level of approval
Cons:
Order of the batches, sometime need to delete the previous batch before loading another batch in. Or have to delete all batches if one batch need to be changed

Hi Dennis Yes we appreciate that this can be annoying. We are conscious of this, but for now VigilantPay is capturing an error or fraud which is what the system is designed to do. We will keep you posted on any progress.
Vigilant Pay
Pros:
The customer service has always been of a very high standard with any issues (not that we've encountered many) resolved efficiently. the configuration and set-up of the various workflows are also really easy to follow.
Cons:
The warnings and alerts could be better tuned to eliminate noise given known information associated with regular / repeat payments so that when the alerts are there they are really there for a good reason.

Comments: Its given a real sense that we have greatly minimize our risk of internal and external loss through payment fraud. What is particular great is it does the checking before the transactions go anywhere near the bank. Not much help know that your money's been stolen after the crook has got away!!
Pros:
Just fits in with our present systems Gives great overview of the system and risks associated with our payments processes to the Board
Cons:
Very little, its simple, easy to implement and highly cost efficient.
