protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">A prior survey on consumers said 13 per cent of them had dealt with payment fraud, with 59 per cent of those affected losing money.<\/p>\n<p>A quarter of the companies affected said\u00a0they dealt with impersonator fraud \u2014 when a caller or emailer appears to be a trusted person or entity \u2014 while 22 per cent faced intercepted e-transfers and 20 per cent experienced credit card fraud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAddressing fraud risks is a central focus for the payment ecosystem,\u201d Donna Kinoshita, chief payments officer at Payments Canada, said in a news release. \u201cIt requires a multifaceted approach that leverages technology, system innovations, evolving regulations and education through continued industry collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the prevalence of fraud, most businesses feel protected by their bank, with 65 per cent of victims saying they were fully or partially reimbursed, and 57 per cent
