How to run this payment check
Step 01
Collect the counterpart details
Gather the company name, registration number or USCC if available, invoice entity name, and any beneficiary information you received.
Step 02
Run the verification and review the signals
Use ChinVerify to review the supplier's company identity, current status, and any records that may deserve closer attention.
Step 03
Decide what to do next
Proceed if the profile looks consistent, hold if key details do not match, or escalate if the signals suggest a deeper review is needed.
What to pressure-test before you send money
Use this decision guide when the deal looks plausible, but you still need to test the entity, documents, and payment setup before funds leave your control.
Entity Match
Match the legal entity across quote, invoice, and bank details before payment
Do not treat payment as a separate step from identity review. If the legal name shifts between documents, pause and confirm exactly which company is asking for funds.
Beneficiary Change
Treat beneficiary changes as a reason to review the case again
A changed account, new receiving entity, or last-minute urgency usually justifies rerunning the verification rather than relying on the earlier screen alone.
Release Decision
Use the result to decide whether to pay, pause, or escalate
The practical goal is to make a clear payment decision before money moves, while you still have room to pause or investigate further.
Which plan fits this payment decision
Check the supplier before you release payment
A quick verification step can help you approve payment with more confidence, or pause in time if the entity, documents, or payment setup do not add up.
