The issue

A confirmed order does not guarantee payment. A request to change bank details may be fraudulent; protection depends on the contract, payment method and applicable law.

What to prepare

Confirm changes through a separate channel with a known contact. Define currency, deadlines and security; retain delivery and acceptance evidence. Assess disputes, costs and debtor assets before recovery.

Official and primary sources
