Secure messaging allows you to send us an instruction, e.g. request a new passbook for savers or reduce the amount you overpay each month for mortgage customers, instead of giving us a call or going to branch.
It’s important to include your 10 digit Cambridge account number in the payment reference field of any electronic payments made to your account whether that is for your Savings or Mortgage accounts. If this information isn’t quoted correctly, the funds will be returned to the sender.
We are required to provide a reference to customers making electronic payments, this is to allow tracking of the payment, should our customers need to. We are sending this reference to customers via email or text.
Confirmation of Payee is a tool designed to stop payment fraud. It will allow you to check the name of the person holding the account against the sort code and account number - this will alert you to a number of options:
Match - the name on the account matches and you can continue with the payment if you’re happy to do so
Close match - the name on the account is not an exact match. It could be an abbreviated name or perhaps a spelling mistake. If you recognise the closely matched name, you can choose to continue or double check the payee details before continuing with the payment
No match - the payee’s name details don’t match the name on the account. It’s very important that you double check the payee’s details to make sure you’re sending funds to the right place. If you are in any doubt, don’t continue with the payment
Unavailable - this is where it isn’t possible to check whether the details match or not
