About Steen Álvarez Jacobsen

SurePay makes payments personal, easier and even more secure. So that you can be sure that you pay the right person or company. We are constantly working on even better identification services based on the IBAN. For example the integration of the check in software packages, such as accounting programs and the development of new services such as the Switch Check and PayID. Future services will always be developed in close cooperation with our customers. SurePay was founded in 2016 and has been providing the IBAN-Name Check to all major Dutch banks since 2017. In the years that followed, our group of customers expanded to corporates and partners. Today, SurePay provides the Confirmation of Payee service in the UK, while at the same time introducing new services in the Netherlands. At the beginning of 2020, SurePay became a Private Company and an independent part of the Rabobank Group.
