According to FinCen, the number of check fraud cases reported in 2022 was 680,000, and that number is only expected to rise going forward.

Even with extensive online banking options, millions of Americans still use physical checks to make and receive payments, which means there are still considerable risks for check fraud. New technology is also making it easier for fraudsters and scammers to forge, steal, and create fake checks, putting individuals, organizations, and depository institutions at risk.

It is more important than ever for businesses in the financial services industry to understand how to identify potentially fraudulent activity and prevent check fraud from occurring.
