PaymentWorks protects against B2B payments fraud, ensures regulatory compliance, and automates vendor management processes so every company can be 100% certain about every third-party they do business with.
According to the AFP, 74% of comp
anies reported they were the target of an attempted or successful payments fraud attack in 2020. More than three quarters of the time, these attacks stemmed from business or vendor email compromise as fraudsters pretended to be someone else – often an existing vendor – in the hopes of changing vendor bank account credentials.
Cybersecurity can help, but it cannot remove the risk of falling victim to this type of social engineering scam.
Professionals in AP, Procurement and
Treasury live with a lot of stress about this. To alleviate the massive burden on these departments, PaymentWorks is offering what no one else in the industry can – a B2B payments security guarantee. Vendors onboard through our platform, and if we give the thumbs up that a bank account is okay to pay, and we’re wrong, that is a PaymentWorks problem.
Our customers can go back to sleeping at night. Plus, they get compliance and added cost avoidance associated with vendor management to boot.

Alan recalls, “Thayer Stewart and I co-founded this company because we saw a big problem. Businesses with thousands of suppliers also had thousands of requests coming in to maintain compliance and different policies. Usually, companies use small teams of people to verify all this information and make sure everything is correct and that they are following the policies. It’s a very hard task, and the last thing on their mind is to make sure that the person providing all this information is actually who they purport to be. It’s done in most companies through mail, fax, and other manual processes, so we sought to build this system that would centralize the whole system, automate it, and make it much more secure, hopefully allowing our customers enough peace of mind that they can sleep a little better at night.”

Our Head of Payments Taylor Nemeth contributed this article to University Business
This is especially true for those working in higher education. With its public expenditure disclosures and decentralized procurement, higher education is especially vulnerable.
Not to mention, most colleges and universities conduct business with thousands of payees—individuals and enterprises, foreign and domestic—making payee identity management enormously challenging.
Sadly, many universities know this threat firsthand. University of San Diego lost $749,000 a year later. They are not alone.
So why isn’t anyone talking about it?

How Universities Are Fighting Payments Fraud
When it comes to fraud, universities are just one more appealing target for cybercriminals.

Like the recent Florida municipal water attack, universities and other public institutions and businesses are all under attack by fraudsters.
According to the FBI, in 2019, $1.7 billion was stolen through business email compromise scams in the US. Globally, Nilson estimates 2020 payment fraud more than tripled from $9.84 billion in 2011 to $32.39 billion in 2020.
