Know Your Vendor: The Upstream Advantage in Fraud Defense

Details
Fraud prevention is moving upstream.
The organizations seeing the greatest success are not identifying fraud at the point of payment. They’re preventing it long before a payment is ever initiated by ensuring vendor information is verified, monitored, and trustworthy from the start.
That matters because most payment fraud begins with a vendor record. An unverified supplier, a bank account change submitted by email, or outdated vendor information can create risk long before money moves.
The Nacha Risk Management Rules, now in full effect, are putting a spotlight on those vulnerabilities and raising expectations around vendor risk management.
Join Nacha and Relish for a practical discussion on why “Know Your Vendor” is becoming an essential business practice. We’ll explore where organizations are most exposed, what the requirements signal about the future of vendor risk management, and the steps needed to build stronger, more defensible controls.
You will learn:
- Why the most effective fraud controls happen before a payment is ever initiated
- What the Nacha Risk Management Rules signal about the future of vendor risk management
- The five pillars of a mature Know Your Vendor program
- How to create an automated process for documented, auditable controls that stand up to scrutiny
Who should attend:
Treasury and accounts payable leaders, payment operations and compliance professionals, procurement and vendor management teams, third-party service providers, and financial institution professionals responsible for payment risk oversight.
