New Zealand: fastest national deployment. Built to expand.
New Zealand deployed the fastest national fraud data sharing scheme on record — 13 banks, 95%+ account coverage. The foundations are built to extend to new use cases as the New Zealand ecosystem evolves.
Fastest national deployment — foundations built to expand beyond fraud data sharing
The foundations are built for expansion. Fraud data sharing was the first use case — not the last.
The Challenge
The New Zealand Banking Association (NZBA) needed to deploy Confirmation of Payee — a fraud prevention system that verifies payee details before a payment is made — across the country's banking system. The requirements:
- 13 banks needed to participate, covering 95%+ of all accounts
- The system needed to verify payee names against account details in real-time
- Every participant needed governed identity, certificates, and API metadata
- Deployment speed was critical — fraud losses were growing
- The solution had to work across multiple bank technology platforms
The Solution
Raidiam deployed the complete trust infrastructure for NZ's Confirmation of Payee network. Raidiam Connect provided the federation layer — participant registration, certificate management, API discovery, and governed access. The deployment was completed in a fraction of the time typical for national banking infrastructure projects.
Key deliverables:
- Ecosystem control plane for all 13 participating banks
- Certificate issuance and lifecycle management
- API discovery and metadata publication
- Conformance testing for all participants
- Operational monitoring and shared signals
The Result
Impact
New Zealand's Confirmation of Payee network demonstrates that Raidiam's infrastructure can be deployed rapidly at national scale for fraud prevention — not just open banking. The trust infrastructure deployed for fraud data sharing is the same infrastructure that will support future use cases as the ecosystem expands.
The same federation model that manages API trust now protects consumers from payment fraud across the entire New Zealand banking system. Fraud data sharing was the first use case — not the last. The foundations are built for whatever comes next.
