How Trustpair & Coupa are Combating AI Fraud

Modern finance and procurement departments are currently navigating a treacherous landscape where sophisticated fraud attempts collide with increasingly stringent regulatory mandates.

According to the Trustpair 2026 Fraud Report, the threat landscape has shifted significantly, with 71% of US companies reporting a surge in AI-powered attacks over the last year.

This technological evolution in criminal tactics has left nearly half of all finance leaders identifying AI-generated fraud as a premier operational challenge.

While external threats grow more complex, internal compliance pressures are also intensifying. New Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) internal control requirements and updated Nacha rules for ACH payment security are forcing organisations to overhaul their existing protocols.

These mandates necessitate the implementation of more robust vendor verification and payment validation controls to ensure every transaction is legitimate and secure.

Strengthening the procure-to-pay ecosystem

Ultimately, these developments signal a broader structural shift in how enterprises manage their Procure-to-Pay (P2P) operations.

As organisations embrace digital transformation, AI-driven automation and centralised data management, the integrity of supplier information has moved from a back-office concern to a foundational pillar of financial resilience.

Ensuring the accuracy of this data is now the primary defence against fraud in an increasingly automated world.

Trustpair, the premier platform for automated vendor payment fraud prevention, and Coupa, the leader in autonomous spend management, have expanded their strategic partnership to bolster organisational defences against escalating AI-driven fraud and tightening compliance mandates.

This evolution of the 2024 collaboration cements Trustpair’s position as a certified solution within the Coupa App Marketplace, offering seamless integration for users of the Coupa Platform.

"As organisations accelerate digital transformation across procurement and finance, the integrity of supplier data has become a critical control point for preventing payment fraud," says Eric Washer, SVP, Product Strategy at Coupa.

"62% of CFOs now oversee their organisation’s technology and security functions, according to our annual Strategic CFO Report. Trustpair's availability through the Coupa App Marketplace provides immense value to our finance and procurement customers looking to strengthen vendor verification and reduce the risk of financial loss with AI."

Automating global bank account verification

Through this expanded alliance, organisations can now automate global bank account ownership verification directly within their existing procurement and finance workflows.

By embedding Trustpair’s sophisticated fraud intelligence and verification tools into the Coupa ecosystem, joint customers gain the ability to validate vendor banking data at scale. This integrated approach significantly mitigates the risk of financial loss stemming from vendor impersonation, account manipulation and sophisticated social engineering schemes.

“Vendor payment fraud continues to evolve rapidly as attackers use AI and social engineering to exploit manual verification processes,” adds Baptiste Collot, CEO and Co-Founder of Trustpair.

“Embedding Trustpair’s automated validation directly into the Coupa platform allows organisations to secure vendor onboarding and payment processes while meeting growing expectations around financial controls and compliance.”

Through the Coupa App Marketplace, customers can seamlessly extend their spend management platform with certified third-party solutions that address critical business challenges while reducing the cost and complexity of integrations. With Trustpair’s automated account ownership verification embedded into Coupa workflows, procurement and finance teams can onboard vendors faster while maintaining strong fraud prevention and compliance controls.
