The Rising Cost of Fraud: Why Businesses Need Smarter Solutions

Fraud is no longer just an operational hiccup—it’s a growing crisis that directly impacts businesses' bottom lines and customer trust. According to the 2022 LexisNexis True Cost of Fraud™ Study, businesses are now paying $3.75 in total costs for every $1 in fraud. That’s a significant rise from $3.36 in 2020, highlighting the urgent need for effective fraud prevention strategies.

Why Are Fraud Costs Increasing?

The landscape of fraud is evolving, driven by two key factors:

  1. More Sophisticated Fraud Tactics
    Fraudsters are constantly adapting to outsmart prevention tools. Advanced techniques like card testing, phishing, and account takeovers allow them to exploit vulnerabilities in the payment ecosystem, causing massive losses for businesses.

  2. The Growth of Online Commerce
    While the rise of e-commerce has created incredible opportunities for businesses, it has also opened new doors for fraudsters. The digital environment provides:

    • Anonymity

    • Unlimited attempts for success

    • Low operating risks

As a result, fraud prevention has become more challenging and complex than ever before.

The Impact on Businesses

For businesses, the cost of fraud goes beyond the financial loss. It also includes:

  • Operational costs: Investigating fraud cases and implementing new safeguards.

  • Reputational damage: Losing customer trust due to breaches or failed security.

  • Lost opportunities: Redirecting resources from growth initiatives to fraud prevention.
