Reduce Fraud & Manage Vendor Payments

Payment fraud isn't just a big-company problem — small businesses are targeted more often and recover less, because one compromised vendor payment can be the whole month's margin. This Launch & Learn shows you how modern financial tools transform vendor payments from your biggest vulnerability into a controlled, auditable system. We demo how platforms like Brex and Bill.com handle approval workflows, virtual vendor cards that cap exposure per vendor, and real-time monitoring that catches problems in hours instead of at month-end. Then we walk through our six-layer fraud-defense flywheel: vendor verification, payment controls, approval separation, card strategy, monitoring, and response — a framework you can implement piece by piece regardless of which tools you use. You'll leave with a prioritized checklist for hardening your payables this quarter.
