In recent years, open-terms credit fraud has become a tremendous threat to a widening circle of businesses and industries. In fact, it is not uncommon for companies in some industries to experience fraud loss rates equal to 25 percent or more of overall bad debt. Trends in technology, law enforcement and the Financial Value Chain (FVC) have facilitated this growth and are unlikely to slow. At a time when competitive pressures are forcing companies to cut costs and identify additional opportunities for differentiation, credit fraud prevention has come to the forefront.
