Learn easy and actionable ways to reduce "friendly fraud" at your property while continuing to offer a better guest experience.
Fraud continues to be a costly concern for the hospitality and travel industry. Fortunately, new ways to proactively protect your business are becoming available every day. 3-D Secure (3DS) is a newer standard you can adopt to secure online payment transactions and reduce the risk of unauthorized charges – without any friction and risk to good transactions.
Push payments like ACH and wire transfers are a great choice for hotels due to their convenience and cost-savings, but most hotels lack the proper security when sharing payment instructions with clients. Sertifi’s director of enterprise payments, Mike Ryan, lays out the facts on how important it is to securely request and accept ACH payments, so you don’t accidentally have thousands of revenue routed to fraudsters.
Your hotel credit card authorization forms can share several clues that you might be dealing with a fraudster. We're sharing which areas to review and research carefully.
