B2B payment fraud takes many forms: CEO scams, phishing, supplier fraud, etc. To summarize, it’s all the ways fraudsters can embezzle funds from a company. Scammers are more and more innovative, often resorting to sophisticated cybercrime.

One of the most common ways is using identity theft to change banking information and have money sent to fraudulent bank accounts. Thieves can use vendors or even employees to change banking credentials.

This type of fraud is difficult to detect: that’s why it’s crucial to have an automated solution like Trustpair that checks bank account ownership.

B2B payment fraud can occur in a procurement tool when there are vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the system’s security protocols. Fraudsters may exploit these weaknesses to impersonate suppliers during registration. Here are some common scenarios in which B2B payment fraud can take place within a procurement tool:

 

  • Supplier Impersonation: Scammers can impersonate legitimate suppliers during the procurement process. They may create fake supplier accounts or compromise the accounts of real suppliers to change payment details, diverting funds to their accounts.
  • Phishing Attacks: Fraudsters may send phishing emails to procurement professionals, posing as suppliers or internal team members. These emails can contain malicious links or attachments that, when clicked, compromise the user’s credentials or infect the system with malware.
  • Identity Theft: Criminals can steal the identities of legitimate suppliers or employees within the organization. They may then use this stolen identity to change payment information, redirect funds, or initiate fraudulent transactions.
  • Unauthorized Access: If the procurement tool lacks robust access controls and authentication mechanisms, unauthorized individuals or employees may gain access to the system. They can manipulate supplier data, payment instructions, or procurement orders.
  • Vendor Database Manipulation: Fraudsters with access to the procurement tool’s vendor database can alter supplier information, including bank account details, to reroute payments to fraudulent accounts.


To mitigate the risk of B2B payment fraud in a procurement tool, organizations should implement robust security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, and regular security audits. Employee training programs on recognizing and reporting potential fraud attempts are also essential. But essentially, conducting due diligence on new suppliers and verifying the authenticity of supplier information and its bank account ownership with software like Trustpair can help prevent fraud.

Trustpair is integrated directly within COUPA interface and does not require users to leave the platform. You can submit a new vendor onboarding form and validate their bank account ownership automatically during the process.
