Operating across 25+ countries means 25+ banking systems, regulatory environments, and currencies to validate against.

For Fidelity International, that scale used to mean risk. Now it means control.

With Quick Check for fast in-network validation and Knox Verify for deeper out-of-network checks on high-value or harder-to-confirm accounts, Fidelity can match the validation method to the risk level of every single payment, anywhere in the world.

Most fraud checks happen after the money's gone.

Quick Check™ runs before payment is released: three data sources, a verdict in minutes, no manual callback.

Fraudsters don't need to hack your systems. They just need one employee to skip a verification step.

That's what "Don't Make It Easy for Them" is about this Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In payment fraud, ease is the whole game: one unverified bank change, one rushed approval, one vendor email that "looks right."

Small habits close those gaps:

Verify every new or changed bank detail, every time.
Slow down on urgency. Fraud thrives on "process this now."
Confirm through an authoritative, independently verified channel. Not the phone number or email in the request itself..

Security isn't one big fix. It's the step you don't skip.

Fraud in the Headlines: $6.7M redirected from a city water project

Portland just discovered that millions meant for its Bull Run water filtration project never reached their destination. The funds landed in a New York law firm's account instead. Law enforcement is investigating, and the money is now in federal custody.

This isn't Portland's first brush with payment fraud. In 2022, the city lost $1.4M in a similar wire diversion scheme.

The lesson keeps repeating: once a fraudulent transfer clears, it's gone. Verifying who's actually receiving a payment before it goes out is what stops these schemes cold.

https://www.opb.org/article/2025/04/24/portland-fraud-bull-run-watershed/

The fraud scheme targeted about $7 million in city of Portland funds that were allocated for the Bull Run water filtration project.

Manual vendor callbacks were never built for how fast finance moves today.

Different time zones. Language gaps. The same repetitive dial outs, day after day, until fatigue sets in and details get missed.

The nsKnox AI Agent Caller takes that burden off your team's plate. It calls payees in their local business hours, in their own language, and follows your risk policies on when a callback should happen at all.

Every call is recorded, every outcome is logged, and the full audit trail lands right inside your Work Canvas alongside the rest of your validation activity.

It's not here to replace Quick Check™ or KnoxVerify™, the authoritative account validation still runs there. The AI Agent Caller strengthens the layer organizations already rely on: the verbal callback, done right, every time.

Where others stop, our validation continues.

Business Email Compromise strikes again, this time in the Upper Ottawa Valley.

A local business lost $3,000 after their email was compromised. A customer, thinking they were paying a trusted vendor, sent funds straight to a fraudster instead.

This is the playbook: attackers quietly monitor email accounts for weeks, learning tone and timing, then strike with a payment request that looks completely normal.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre reported nearly $68 million in BEC losses in 2025 alone. This isn't an isolated case, it's a pattern.

Red flags to watch for:
🚩 Urgent or secretive payment requests
🚩 Sudden changes to payment instructions
🚩 Email addresses that look right but aren't

Verifying a payment request over email is no longer enough. Confirm through a separate channel. Build the habit before the invoice looks urgent.
