Middesk
Pros
- Pulls from actual government registries instead of scraped or third-party data, which matters when you're making a payroll decision off it
- Monitoring after onboarding catches fraud that develops later, not just at signup
- API-first design integrates cleanly into vendor and contractor onboarding flows
Cons
- US-only, so it's the wrong tool if you're paying contractors or entities outside the US
- No published pricing and no self-serve signup, expect a sales cycle
- Solves business-identity fraud, not individual employee identity, you'll still need something else for that side
Trustpair
Pros
- Validates account ownership, not just account existence, which is the check that actually stops diversion
- Continuous monitoring catches bank-detail edits between onboarding and payment
- The $1M liability backstop puts money behind the accuracy claims
Cons
- Enterprise-only pricing walls off the SMBs who get hit by the same scam
- Value concentrates in companies with large vendor files, at 50 vendors a callback policy does most of this for free
- Deep ERP integration is where the product shines, so lightweight accounting stacks see less of it
