Feels like this has become much more common lately.

We keep seeing invoices issued to one company, but the incoming transfer arrives from a totally different entity/account name with little or no explanation attached.

At low volume it’s manageable, but once transaction counts grow it starts creating real delays around matching, overdue tracking, and finance visibility.

Curious whether other teams are seeing the same thing recently and how you’re handling it operationally without turning reconciliation into detective work.

We’ve been using the same Open Banking provider for a couple of years now and, if I’m honest, the relationship has mostly been on autopilot.

Nothing catastrophic has happened, so we never really stopped to benchmark pricing, reliability, support quality, or whether newer providers are materially better now.

Starting a proper review process internally and trying to avoid getting distracted by sales demos and feature lists that don’t matter in day-to-day operations.

For teams that have done a serious vendor review recently, what metrics or questions ended up being the most useful once you got beyond the marketing layer?
