Paid an invoice into the wrong account?
Invoice interception hits businesses and homebuyers hardest, and the sums are large. Where a bank failed to check the payee, recovery is often possible.
Do I have a claim?
You may be able to claim if:
- You paid an invoice into bank details that turned out to be fraudulent
- The payment was made from a UK account
- You have the email or invoice showing the altered details
- The loss occurred within the last six years

Invoice and Mandate Scam Claims
In an invoice scam, criminals gain access to an email account — yours or your supplier’s — and quietly monitor correspondence. At the moment a genuine invoice is due, they intervene with altered bank details. The invoice is real, the relationship is real, and only the account number has changed.
Conveyancing payments are a frequent target, which means life-changing sums are lost at the point of buying a home. These claims often turn on whether payee name checks were properly carried out, and on whether the receiving bank should have refused an account that did not match.
What you can claim for
Compensation is not just about the injury. We make sure every loss you have suffered is accounted for.
Your bank or payment provider
Banks are expected to detect and challenge suspicious payments. Where they failed to intervene, they can be liable to reimburse you.
The receiving bank
The account your money landed in should never have been opened or operated as it was. Receiving banks carry duties too.
Tracing and freezing funds
Where money can still be located, we move quickly to freeze it before it is dissipated beyond reach.
The fraudsters themselves
Where individuals or companies behind the scam can be identified, we pursue them directly for your losses.
Interest on your losses
Compensation is not limited to the sum you lost — you can claim interest for the period you were without it.
Distress and inconvenience
Financial fraud causes real harm beyond the money. That impact can form part of what you recover.
