Electronic Payment Fraud Prevention Best Practices

As online and electronic modes of payment increase in their prevalence, it is a lot easier to transact with money matters than it was a few years ago. One doesn’t need to visit a bank or any other financial institution to make these. One can do so from the comfort of one’s own location.
But wait a minute. While these improvements in technology have made our tasks easier, they also come with an inevitable side effect: the potential for fraud. Vulnerability is a byproduct of technology. It is almost inseparable from the benefits that technology brings. Not only individuals around the world, but even organizations are at the receiving end of various smart frauds that dot the electronic payment landscape.

Ironical as it may sound, companies don’t have the same levels and layers of protection from electronic payment fraud as individuals. They have less than 24 hours to report the fraud, failing which their chances of recovering their lost money reduce dramatically.
So, what is the way out? How do organizations deal with this issue? Should organizations stop making electronic payments? No way. This is not the answer, as not being online can also cause dangers for organizations.
A webinar on the topic, “Electronic Payment Fraud Prevention Best Practices”, which is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance on July 18, has the answers. Mary S. Schaeffer, Founder of AP Now, will be the speaker at this interesting and valuable session.
