Dear Supplier

Many companies are seeing an increase in fraud, specifically around bank account changes. Our

compliance policies evolve based on current trends and we have seen new instances of fraud

that take advantage of COVID-19 impacts. This requires more stringent requirements to protect

not only our vendors but Thomson Reuters as well.

Part of our role in Accounts Payable is to prevent this from happening while still providing both

the necessary vendor satisfaction and financial protection. Because of this, we have implemented

Corporations, Companies, Organizations

For these suppliers we request two documents:

1. A letter on the company letterhead confirming bank details with the authorized signatory’s

signature

2. Plus, one of the following documents:

 Letter from the bank with the bank details (to include account name, bank name, bank routing

numbers, account number, IBAN/Swift Code)

 Cancelled/Void Check.

 Blank bank statement (screenshot of the top portion with bank information only)

numbers, account number, IBAN/Swift Code)

3. Cancelled/Void Check.

4. Blank bank statement (screenshot of the top portion with bank information only).

What you need to know and do

 Make sure the information provided is signed off, then Accounts Payable can validate the

documentation and handle bank details.

We appreciate your understanding as we implement further controls to protect both Thomson

Reuters and our vendors. If you have any question please contact Vendor Master Team or visit
