Automated payment fraud monitoring for construction and trades SMEs

Live platform — from £29/month

Automatically detect risky invoice and payment emails before money leaves your business.

Sentra monitors selected invoice and payment-related mailboxes, flags potential payment fraud including fake invoices, supplier impersonation, and fraudulent bank-detail changes, then creates verification workflows before payment. Connect Xero and Microsoft 365, subscribe, and use Sentra in your finance workflow — we welcome feedback from customers as we continue to improve detection and controls.

Email Risk InboxHigh risk

ABC Electrical Supplies Ltd

Updated bank details

New bank details detected. Do not pay until verified using a trusted phone number already on file.

The payment risks construction businesses face

Attackers do not need to break your whole business. They only need one fake invoice, one supplier impersonation, one fraudulent bank-detail change, or one diverted payment to cause serious loss.

Fake invoices

Payment details that do not match your verified supplier records.

Supplier impersonation

Emails that look like a known supplier but use different domains or reply addresses.

Fraudulent bank-detail changes

Requests to pay into a new account without independent verification.

Payment diversion

Urgent or compromised-email scams pushing payments before checks are completed.

Built for Microsoft 365 payment-risk workflows

Sentra focuses on payment-risk emails: invoices, bank-detail changes, supplier payment requests, and urgent payment instructions. Connect Microsoft 365, choose the mailboxes you want monitored (such as accounts@ or invoices@), sync suppliers from Xero, and let the overseer flag mismatches before you pay — without organisation-wide mailbox access.
