Xero does send an email when bank details change, but this alone doesn't protect you. Here's why OutflowGuard is essential.
Xero's notification is just another email in your inbox. It arrives alongside dozens of other automated emails and can easily be overlooked, deleted, or buried.
Even if you did see the email, there's no record that you actually verified the change. Did you call the supplier? Did you check independently? There's no evidence either way.
If fraud occurs and you need to prove to your bank, insurer, or auditor that you took reasonable steps, an email notification provides no documentation of your verification process.

Under the emerging Scams Prevention Framework, businesses may need to demonstrate they have proper processes in place. A notification you "might have seen" isn't evidence. A logged verification workflow is.
