How Small Businesses Can Protect Against Payment Fraud in 2026

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
