Please forward this email to your accounts team.

Do not ever accept revised bank payment details,  there are several way you can double check you have the correct ASA members bank details . Firstly if its repeat business you should be holding on file the members correct bank details. Secondly you can quickly double check the members bank details on the ASA website as these details are noted. Finally before making any payment to a revised banking instruction call the member on the phone to check if they have issued any revised banking instructions.

We also strongly advise you to add the paragraph below (or words similar) underneath your signature on all your emails.
