Small businesses face unique vulnerabilities when it comes to payment fraud. With limited resources and often less sophisticated security infrastructure, they've become prime targets for fraudsters.

Common Types of Business Payment Fraud

  • Invoice fraud and business email compromise
  • POS system tampering
  • Supplier payment redirection
  • Employee embezzlement through payment systems
  • Essential Protections

    Implement dual-authorization for large payments, use dedicated payment devices, train employees on phishing recognition, and regularly audit payment records.

    Recovery Options
