| Northwind Bank (Tokyo) | JPY 2,010,000,000.00 of JPY 2,000,000,000.00 (100.5%) | Breach | JPY 230,000,000.00 | JPY 50,000,000.00 | None |

Projected close = opening balance + expected inflows - scheduled outflows.

**Needs action:**
- **Fabrikam Bank (Frankfurt):** limit used 87.6%, above the 80% watch level; route large EUR payments with care.
- **WGB-NOSTRO-EUR-01:** projected close EUR 900,000.00 is below the EUR 1,000,000.00 minimum plus 10% buffer. Draft funding request to treasury: EUR 200,000.00.
- **Northwind Bank (Tokyo):** limit used 100.5%; new JPY payments through this correspondent need a limit decision from treasury before release.

Drafts for treasury; no funds were moved, no limit was changed and no payment was held.

Synthetic payments evidence only. This agent does not release, hold, repair, return, or resubmit a payment, contact a customer, or post to a ledger; every decision stays with an authorized payments analyst.

### PO-10 — Customer verification draft

Prompt: "PAY-3130 to Coho Winery was flagged. How should we verify it with the customer?"

Operation: `customer_verification`; arguments: `{"operation": "customer_verification", "payment_id": "PAY-3130"}`

**Customer Verification Draft: PAY-3130**

| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Customer | Fourth Coffee |
| Payment | USD 64,800.00 on Domestic High-Value to Coho Winery (new account) |
| Flag | Beneficiary account details changed by an email request two days before payment |
| Raised by | Fraud monitoring service (synthetic flag, shown as provided) |
| Release cutoff | 18:00 |

**Verification journey (draft):**
1. Contact the customer through the Treasury contact, mobile ending 4417; never use contact details from the email request or the payment instruction.
2. Ask the customer to confirm, in their own words, that they requested this payment, the amount, and the beneficiary.
3. Ask how the new beneficiary account details reached them and whether they confirmed them with the beneficiary by phone.
4. Record the answers on the case for the payments analyst.

**Draft in-app message:** "We are holding payment PAY-3130 for USD 64,800.00 to check it with you. We will call your registered number ending 4417. We will never ask for passwords or codes."

**After verification:** the payments analyst decides whether to release or keep the hold; this agent makes no fraud assessment of its own. The payment was not released or held and the customer was not contacted.

Synthetic payments evidence only. This agent does not release, hold, repair, return, or resubmit a payment, contact a customer, or post to a ledger; every decision stays with an authorized payments analyst.
