Protecting your business from fraud

In 2018, data breaches and cyberattacks were up 47% over the same three-month time period in 2017. As such, businesses must be more diligent and more proactive than ever to protect against fraud and its resulting losses.

Three easy ways to protect one’s business: Make sure the credit card processing is compliant; ensure the point-of-sale system and payment processing tools are secure; and guarantee your transaction.

At Washington Federal, for example, our merchant services provider, Heartland, processes each transaction through its Heartland Secure™ technology. Through this system, each transaction is triple-guaranteed secure to protect customer data.
