Payment Fraud
Payment fraud is the unauthorized transaction or use of a payment method with the intent to steal money or personal information. Credit cards, debit cards, and online payment systems as well as e-money or virtual currency are all at risk. Payment fraud includes activities like using stolen card details, creating fake accounts, or manipulating transactions.
Payment fraud poses a significant threat to businesses and consumers, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Fraudsters use various techniques, including phishing, card skimming, and hacking, to carry out fraudulent transactions.
To combat payment fraud, businesses turn to advanced security measures that include encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), real-time monitoring, and machine learning algorithms to detect as well as prevent suspicious activities. Educating customers about safe online practices and regularly updating security protocols also play a critical role in minimizing the risk of payment fraud.
