What is Bulk Payment Fraud?

Fraudsters exploit vulnerable systems to divert funds intended for legitimate beneficiaries to fraudulent accounts. This type of fraud often targets businesses that make large-volume payments to multiple recipients.

Common Signs:

Changes in beneficiary details without proper authorisation.

Targeting highest-value beneficiaries or siphoning portions from multiple beneficiaries into one fraudulent account.

What You Should Do:

1. Verify file content before and after uploading bulk payment files.

2. Verify payment requests before and after approval.

3. Train employees to recognise and report suspicious activity.

4. Use antivirus software and perform regular scans on all devices.
