Definition
Invoice fraud often follows a compromised supplier email: you receive a real-looking bill or 'we've changed banks' notice and pay the criminal's account. The loss is hard to recover.
Why it matters for your business
Always confirm new or changed bank details by phone on a trusted number before paying, and require a second approver for supplier bank changes. See invoice and mandate fraud.
