As 2025 finishes up, we'd like to reflect on a defining year for Eftsure and for the thousands of finance teams we support.
If 2024 was the year when B2B payment fraud truly went mainstream, then 2025 was the year more businesses chose to fight back. And they did it with us.
This year, our Eftsure community grew to over 3,800 customers worldwide, spanning industries from construction and government to education, services and beyond. That milestone isn’t just a number. It represents thousands of finance teams who’ve chosen comprehensive, real-time payment protection: across borders, at scale, and with full verification coverage.
Fraud attempts reached new volumes
Unfortunately, the scale and sophistication of fraud attempts reached record levels in 2025.
In April, it was all about volume. Eftsure thwarted the largest number of fraud attempts since our inception. In October, we recorded the largest dollar value fraud attempts we’ve ever seen in a single month. Just weeks later, we helped a customer block the largest-ever attempted fraud in Eftsure’s history.
While headline numbers draw attention, other stories are hidden in the trends:
- Construction remained one of the most targeted sectors, with fraud attempts ranging from $30,000 to $1.5 million per invoice
- The services sector saw a noticeable increase in attack volumes
- Small and medium businesses (SMBs) experienced faster growth in fraud attempts, likely due to having fewer internal resources and controls
Fraudsters were also likely to swing big this year, often going for scams worth at least six figures. Across all sectors, the average value of attempted frauds blocked by Eftsure was $270,000 this year.
Company growth across regions
Although fraudsters have been ramping up tactics and attempts, Eftsure has been ramping up, too. This year was one of significant growth for our team.
Nowhere was our momentum clearer than in the US. In 2025, our:
- US team tripled in size
- Sales grew tenfold
- Customer base more than doubled
Perhaps our biggest milestone this year was acquisition of France-based Sis ID, a respected leader in fraud prevention across Europe. The integration of both teams is already delivering value, with strong collaboration across multiple regions and shared alignment on our mission. I want to acknowledge the hard work of leaders Patrice Bouexel and Laurent Sarrat, along with our entire Europe team, for their outstanding partnership as we unite to bring stronger payment controls to businesses globally. Read more here.
In total, we’ve welcomed more than 52 new team members in the US and Australia, along with the addition of 85 team members in Europe through our integration with Sis ID. Investing in our people ensures we continue scaling our impact and protecting more businesses, more often.
And, for the third year running, we were recognised on the Australian Financial Review’s list of Australia’s 100 fastest-growing companies, a reflection of our continued market trust.
Stronger protection, expanded capabilities
All of this growth is a big part of how we’ve been able to evolve Eftsure’s capabilities in step with customer needs.
This year, integration with Sis ID has enabled the launch of international vendor verification, allowing our customers to confirm payees across borders with the same confidence they expect locally. We now support vendor verification in nearly 40 countries, a major step forward for any company with international vendors or operations.
We also introduced a new layer of confidence with guaranteed protection of up to $1 million for payments lost to social engineering scams, when made to verified payees.
Comprehensive protection in a fragmented landscape
As B2B payment fraud has evolved, so has the vendor risk ecosystem. Across every region we operate in, there’s been an increase in point solutions: tools that solve one part of the problem, but rarely the whole. Some verify vendors, but only in specific countries. Others provide alerts, but lack full automation or networked insights.
What CFOs and finance leaders need is complete coverage: every vendor, every country, every time.
Thanks to our teams’ hard work in 2025, Eftsure delivers that. With more than 12 years of proprietary data and verification logic, we offer 100% vendor verification coverage globally. Our platform brings together local expertise, global data, and live network feedback to close verification gaps that cybercriminals have made a fortune exploiting.
The result? A comprehensive fraud prevention solution that goes wherever your payments go.
What comes next
It’s been a year of growth, but also a year of proof. Proof that finance leaders are stepping up to secure their payments, proof that automation and real-time controls work, proof that we’re delivering on our promise to protect every payment.
To our customers and partners, thank you for your collaboration and commitment to stop payments ending up in fraudsters’ accounts. To our employees, thank you for your dedication.
And to every finance leader preparing for 2026, we’re ready for what’s next. And we’ll be with you every step of the way.
