Frequently asked questions about Financial Operations Networks
What FON makes, how it prevents payment fraud, and how VendorInfo and InvoiceInfo fit the ERP you already run.
Financial Operations Networks (FON) is a financial operations company whose products help accounts payable teams prevent payment fraud: VendorInfo, a vendor portal; InvoiceInfo, a supplier portal; DisbursementControls.com, a membership resource for disbursement controls; and VIMCOE, which provides accounts payable certification. FON is a Nacha Preferred Partner.
FON strengthens front-line control points across vendor onboarding, supplier maintenance, and payments — verifying vendor information, validating bank account ownership, running compliance checks, and reducing exposure to business email compromise (BEC) before payments are made.
VendorInfo is a vendor portal for onboarding: it verifies tax IDs, screens OFAC and validates bank account ownership before a vendor is paid. InvoiceInfo is a supplier portal for after the invoice: suppliers look up invoice status, payment dates and remittance advice themselves instead of emailing AP. Both sit on top of the same ERP and are often used together.
A vendor portal is a secure site where suppliers register, submit W-9 or W-8 forms and bank account details, and keep their own information current, while the buying organization verifies every entry before it reaches the vendor master file. VendorInfo is a vendor portal built for accounts payable: it matches TINs with the IRS, screens OFAC and verifies bank account ownership as part of onboarding.
About two weeks. VendorInfo and InvoiceInfo sit on top of the existing ERP — SAP, Oracle, Coupa, NetSuite, Workday, Sage Intacct — with no core-system replacement.
Yes. Every W-9, TIN match, OFAC screen and bank account verification is recorded, and bank account changes require four-eyes approval, so the vendor file carries its own audit trail.
