In cities across the U.S., small and medium-sized businesses play vital roles in their local economies, generating employment opportunities and revenue for the community. Credit unions recognize this and as a result, are focused on attracting and serving more commercial and business members.

However, these members face distinct challenges when it comes to payments fraud. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners reveals that small to medium-sized businesses lose a median of $200,000 or an estimated five percent of their annual revenues to fraud each year.

Doing so will empower members with greater control and visibility over the funds in their account.
