B2B Payment fraud encompasses various tactics, each with the potential to cause significant financial losses. Some common types of B2B payment fraud include:
- CEO Scam: Fraudsters impersonate high-level executives to request urgent payments. They usually resort to intimidation and target individuals from the treasury department.Trustpair’s solutions help verify such requests and prevent unauthorized transactions by identifying any fraudulent account.
- Supplier Scam (Bank Detail Replacement): Criminals manipulate merchant bank details to divert payments to their accounts. Trustpair’s validation process ensures that bank account details match legitimate vendors.
- Fake Invoice: Fraudsters send bogus invoices to deceive businesses into making payments for services or products that were never provided. To stop fraud from occurring, Trustpair’s solution helps verify invoice authenticity.
- Email Hacking (Impersonation of Suppliers): Hackers gain control of supplier email accounts to send payment requests from seemingly legitimate sources. To safeguard businesses from this type of fraudulent activity, Trustpair’s real-time monitoring detects anomalies before payments are executed.
- Internal Frauds: Dishonest employees manipulate internal systems to facilitate unauthorized transactions. Fraud happens when they enter their own bank details instead of merchants’ details and receive transfers. Trustpair’s comprehensive approach helps prevent such insider threats.
Online-banking, instant money-transfer and the rise in electronic payment have all led to a significant increase in fraudulent transactions. There are several prevention measures you can set up to fight fraud:
- Implement regular awareness trainings to make sure your staff can easily identify fraud attempts. This shouldn’t concern only treasury teams but all employees.
- Set up internal control policies like the segregation of duties: domestic or international money transfers can’t be handled by only one person but tasks should be divided between employees. One can check account information like the Iban number or the swift codes, another can actually process the fund transfer.
- Use automation with an international account validation platform like Trustpair. You can process international wire transfers with peace of mind and have the confidence you’re transferring money to the right vendors.
