Why AP Payments Security Is Crucial for Your Business

In today’s digital world, protecting your Accounts Payable (AP) payments is more important than ever. With businesses moving to online payment systems, cybercriminals are finding new ways to attack. At Finexio, we believe that securing payments isn’t just about avoiding problems—it’s about creating smarter, safer systems that help businesses grow.

Let’s talk about how your business can handle these challenges and build a secure, efficient payment process.

The Rising Risks in AP Payments

The shift to digital payments has made life easier for businesses—but it’s also opened the door to new risks. Did you know that 80% of organizations experienced some kind of payment fraud in 2023?¹ Fraudsters use tricks like fake invoices, phishing emails, and hacking to steal money or sensitive information.

The cost of a data breach has also skyrocketed. The average breach now costs businesses $4.45 million, which includes both the direct loss of money and the damage to a company’s reputation.² These risks aren’t going away—they’re growing. So, the question is: How can your business stay ahead of these threats?
