New payment details? Use an established check.

  1. Notice the change: destination, contact route, or approval process.
  2. Pause the change while you verify it.
  3. Use contact details obtained outside the request and follow the approved process.
  4. If verification is unavailable, use the agreed escalation route.

Our team process
Manager: add your approved process before sharing this reminder.

Reporting or help
Manager: add your team's reporting route before sharing.

A callback is one check, not a guarantee. Follow your organization's approval and incident-response procedures.
