The resurgence of check fraud
Check fraud is no longer a legacy payments issue — it has become one of the most persistent and financially damaging fraud threats facing financial institutions today.
According to the 2026 AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey, checks remain the payment method most impacted by fraud, with 63% of organizations reporting attempted or actual check fraud activity. Fraudsters continue to target business checks due to their high transaction values, predictable payment patterns, and continued reliance across commercial payment workflows.
