Frequently Asked Questions

Category - Issues
Category - Fraud prevention

Your supplier has modified their banking information in your Transphere profile. What should you do?

When a supplier with whom you already have a business link modifies the banking information in their profile, you will be informed thanks to Transphere. This alert will not appear when creating the business link, but when you are about to make a payment to a new bank account.

Here’s how to proceed:

  • In the payment lot, click “Validate the account” to view the changes made.
  • Next, confirm that the change is taken into account before you can make the payment.
  • To facilitate this process, check the filter which only displays the payments requiring validation.

How do you avoid fraud attempts on Transphere?

By applying some best practices on Transphere, you can significantly reduce the risk of fraud.

  • Do not modify your supplier’s banking information after receiving an email. Fraudsters prefer to avoid telephone contact because they don’t want to be identified.
  • Whether you use Transphere or not, take the time to confirm the requested changes directly with your supplier. Do not rely on the information provided in the email or in your accounting system: instead, use the telephone number provided on a recent invoice or on your supplier’s official website.
  • Never create a profile for your supplier (anonymous invitation) without having first validated the information with your supplier verbally. A profile created without doing this check is beneficia for a fraudster.
  • Before inviting a supplier to create a profile (standard invitation), check the authenticity of their email address. This crucial step can protect you against ill-intentioned individuals.

How can fraudsters deceive you?

Fraudsters often use a tactic which consists in pretending to be a legitimate supplier to encourage you to direct your payments to a bank account under their control. They generally communicate by email and use an address similar to that of your actual supplier.

Here is an example of this tactic:

  1. Let’s say that your supplier’s official website is www.atelier-abc.com and the email address for accounts receivable is [email protected].
  2. The fraudster creates a domain called “atelier-abc.ca” and the email addresses [email protected] and [email protected].
  3. By pretending to be your supplier, the fraudster then contacts you using this false address. The fraudster can also imitate your supplier’s signature and add the [email protected] address in certified copy to make it seem more credible.
  4. The fraudster then asks you to modify their banking information before you can send them future payments.

In this example, the telephone number is fake, since the fraudster is counting on the fact that you will only communicate by email, which is often the case. The subtle difference in the email addresses (“.ca” rather than “.com”) can easily go unnoticed.

A customer wants to pay me by ACCEO Transphere, I don’t know what to do to receive his payments

Case 1: I received a notice directly from my client informing me that he is now using ACCEO Transphere to pay his suppliers and asking for my email

This is a “notice”. Whether or not you already have an ACCEO Transphere account, respond to your customer’s request. You will then receive an invitation from ACCEO Transphere to register or add this customer to your existing account.

The ACCEO Transphere invitation is triggered by your customer. If you want to know when your invitation will be sent or if you think you should have already received it, start by checking your spam folder for an email coming from [email protected]. If you can’t find anything, contact your client who can tell you if the invitation has already been sent, check to which email address, and if so resend it to you.

Case 2: I received an email from [email protected] with the title “Client name – Procedure for receiving your payments by bank transfer”

This is the invitation from ACCEO Transphere allowing you to create an account or add this customer to an existing account. Follow the instructions in this email so that your client can subsequently create a business link between their accounting system and your ACCEO Transphere account. Once your registration is complete and the link created, you have nothing more to do. You will receive an email when your customer makes a payment to you.

Case 3: I received an email from [email protected] with the title “Client name – Receipt of your payments with ACCEO Transphere”

This email informs you that your client has been notified that your registration has been completed and that he has created the business link between his accounting system and your ACCEO Transphere account. This email is for informational purposes only. No action is required on your part. You will receive an email when your customer makes a payment to you.

Case 4: I received an email from [email protected] with the title “Your client Client name can pay you with their accounting system by electronic funds transfer”

This email informs you that your customer has entered your banking information into their accounting system and that they can pay you through ACCEO Transphere without any action on your part. You will receive an email when your customer makes a payment to you.

Case 5: I completed my registration a long time ago and I still have not received payment from my client

Does the customer have any bills to pay you?

  • NO

Some customers create business links with all of their suppliers in anticipation of future invoices.

  • YES

If you have created an account in ACCEO Transphere, have you received the email from [email protected] with the title “Client name – Receipt of your payments with ACCEO Transphere”?

If so, and you have not received one of the emails described in case 6, ask your client afterwards.

If not, either your account is incomplete (bank account not validated or not accepted), or the account is completed but the customer has not yet created the business link. If you cannot see in ACCEO Transphere what is missing to complete your link with your client, contact us by filling out the form at the bottom of this page.

If your client has created the business link with your banking information in their accounting system (see case 4) and you have not received one of the emails described in case 6, ask your client later.

 

Case 6: I received an email from [email protected] with the title “ACCEO Transphere – Confirmation of payment”  but I do not see the deposit in my Bank account.

When your customer submits a payment, you receive a payment notification and if you have an ACCEO Transphere account, you can see it in Received Payments. However, there is a delay between the time the payment is made and the time it is deposited into your bank account. Depending on the customer’s bank and yours, the delay is between 1 and 4 working days. If after 5 business days the deposit still does not appear in your account and you have not received a rejection notice, contact us by filling out the form at the bottom of this page.

Several customers are already paying me by ACCEO Transphere, how can I get my other customers to pay me this way too?

To pay you by ACCEO Transphere, your customer must have an ACCEO Transphere subscription and invite you to pay yourself by ACCEO Transphere. You can ask your customers directly if they use ACCEO Transphere to pay their suppliers, and if so, ask them to invite you.

How do I pay my rent by automatic withdrawals from my bank account?

To begin with, your property manager must send you, through Transphere, a PAP agreement to complete. You will receive it by email, from [email protected].

The following video capsule explains what to do next: 

How to cancel a payment

Scenario 1: My rent is paid by preauthorised payment and my du date is in 3 or more business days

  • If you paid your landlord by cheque:
    • Contact your property management company and ask that he stop the payment by providing the invoice number
  • If the amount on the invoice is incorrect :
    • Contact your property management company and ak them to change the amount on you invoice. Once you received the corrected invoice, you must accept the new agreeement and the pre-authorized payment will be scheduled with the correct amount.
  • If you moved out of the appartement
    • Contact the property management company and advise them of the error. If your agreement has not been deactivated, please follow the instructions “How to stop a preauthorised agreement?“.
  • If you cannot cover the amount owed
    • Contact the property management company and ask that the date for the debit be changed. You will be notified by email of the change. You must accept the new date in order to activate the new payment schedule.
