2020 AFP Payments Fraud & Control Survey
We are proud to sponsor the AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey for the 12th consecutive year and deliver the 2020 key highlights report.
According to the survey, 81 percent of companies were targets of payments fraud last year, demonstrating the continued pervasiveness of this threat and the fact that no industry is immune. Business email compromise (BEC) remains a primary method of attack and a challenge for businesses of all sizes.
As a leader in treasury management services and electronic payments technology, J.P. Morgan is committed to mitigating fraud and protecting client information across our entire infrastructure. We will continue to invest in the technology, educational tools and risk management expertise to help protect your business.
Organizations should also stay vigilant by educating employees on the latest payments fraud practices and implementing tools and processes to safeguard their assets and data. Learn more by downloading the key highlights report and viewing the infographic below.
