Check fraud continues to rise. Here are a few statistics:
- According to Ernst & Young more than 500 million checks are forged annually, with losses totaling more than $10 billion.
- According to the American Bankers Association, check fraud is growing at 25% a year.
- The average fraud loss in the U.S. is $1,545 per check.
Protecting your customers’ valuable documents is no longer optional. With the availability of advanced scanning and copying equipment as well as electronic publishing, check fraud artists have enormous alteration and duplication capabilities.
Are your customers’ checks secure enough? Industry experts agree – the more security features in a check, the lower the risk of check fraud. Don’t settle for less. Don’t settle for plain 24# Bond with little or no security features.
