Partner and spouse fraud
This guide looks at how your business can keep its account and money safe.
-
Pick a strong password and PIN
To create a password or PIN, choose words and numbers that have no direct connection to yourself or the business. This helps to stop someone close to you or a fraudster from easily guessing.
If anyone you work or live with knows your banking details, change them right away.
Try to get some proof that the seller is genuine and the item exists before you pay.
-
Put cash in the bank
If your firm deals with cash, make sure most of it is kept in the bank and not at work.
Check your cheques
If you use a cheque book, make sure it's kept in a safe place at work.
Keep a note of each cheque that’s used and look at the account to make sure it was cashed properly. This helps to know how much has been spent and how many cheques are left.
