Like any business venture, a farming operation can find itself in the crosshairs of payment fraud. Many agricultural transactions can reach hundreds or thousands of dollars. All it takes is one convincing email, an altered payment request or an AI-generated deepfake to slip through and put significant money at risk.

And once the fraud is detected and the transaction is complete — the bad actor behind it cashes the check or receives the wire transfer — the odds of recouping your money become vanishingly low.

This free webinar will give you the tools to recognize the latest tactics of fraudsters, reduce your risk and protect the profitable farm enterprise you’re working to build.

Sign up to learn real-world examples of when and how payment fraud can catch even the most diligent farm operation off guard. After the Compeer team covers current tactics and red flags to watch for, we’ll talk about how we’re strengthening our fraud response and tools you can use to reduce your risk.

What you’ll learn

How fraud tactics are designed to appear as legitimate requests for payment — and how to recognize them

How to reduce your exposure using tools from Compeer Financial
