Flagging and risk
Invoist holds invoices that look risky.
When an invoice asks to be paid to a new bank account, has an unusual amount, or looks like one you already have, Invoist holds it and tells you why.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Skipping only covers small reading problems, like a blurry scan. New bank details, unusual amounts, likely duplicates, and your own rules are always held for you to check.
