where the payment account identifier specified in point (1)(a) of the Annex and the name of the payee have been inserted in the payment order for the credit transfer by the payer, the payer’s PSP shall provide a service for matching the payment account identifier specified in point (1)(a) of the Annex with the name of the payee. Upon the request of the payer’s PSP, the payee’s PSP shall verify whether the payment account identifier specified in point (1)(a) of the Annex and the name of the payee provided by the payer match. Where they do not match, the payer’s PSP shall, based on information provided by the payee’s PSP, notify the payer thereof and inform the payer that authorising the credit transfer might lead to transferring the funds to a payment account not held by the payee indicated by the payer. Where the name of the payee provided by the payer and the payment account identifier specified in point (1)(a) of the Annex almost match, the payer’s PSP shall indicate to the payer the name of the payee associated with the payment account identifier specified in point (1)(a) of the Annex provided by the payer;
