Cybercriminals don’t respect international borders. In fact, they exploit your international payments by hiding behind complicated verification processes, different time zones and language barriers.
That’s why Eftsure is launching international payment verification across 39 markets including most of Europe, as well as the US and Canada, India, Japan and South Korea.
Why international payment protection matters now
International payments carry unique vulnerabilities that domestic fraud prevention systems often don’t address. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), reported losses from cyber-enabled fraud in the US hit $16.6 billion in 2024 — a 33 percent increase from the previous year.
Meanwhile, one-third of finance professionals surveyed by Eftsure say they’re unsure where to report fraud incidents — suggesting many losses go unreported.
AI tools are compounding these risks by making it cheaper and easier for criminals to launch payment redirection and fake invoice scams. The low-risk, high-reward nature of these crimes has turned them into organized enterprises — especially in developing regions. When vendors operate in overseas markets, businesses are exposed to more fraud risks.
“International payments involve different languages, time zones, payment systems and regulatory environments,” says Eftsure CEO, Jon Soldan. “That’s why we’re proud to offer international payment verification, giving our clients the same level of financial security when dealing with overseas vendors.”
CFOs agree: international payment verification is a pain point
Finance and AP teams have long flagged international payments as a major challenge — not just because of fraud risk, but due to manual, inefficient processes for staff and vendors.
“It’s a real pain trying to verify overseas vendors. Time zones, faceless departments — it’s all manual and slow,” said Lynne Sampson, Group CFO of Positive Real Estate. “Having a trusted third party like Eftsure step in will save us time and give us real confidence in international payments.”
Eftsure minimizes international payment risks by embedding a proprietary, multi-layered verification process throughout an organization’s payment chain. We also partner with trusted institutions including the US-based clearing house Nacha and BNP Paribas in Europe.
Given the critical nature of payment protection and the scale of associated risk, we’re actively seeking to work with organizations managing business payment processes. A full list of supported countries is available here.
