How to Prevent Supplier Fraud Before It Starts: Insights & Demo from TYS + LexisNexis

In today’s digital supply chain environment, fraud doesn’t need to break in — it only needs you to let your guard down. 

For many organizations, a supplier email update or a seemingly simple banking change can lead to major financial loss. Manual processes, siloed systems, and a lack of verification protocols continue to leave procurement and finance teams exposed. 

That’s why Trust Your Supplier (TYS) and LexisNexis Risk Solutions teamed up to address this challenge head-on in a recent podcast discussion — and demo — on how to prevent supplier fraud before it starts. 

A Conversation Rooted in Real-World Risk

In this episode, Chad Hill from TYS is joined by John Hutton of LexisNexis Risk Solutions to explore how payment fraud happens, why it’s still getting through, and how procurement and compliance leaders can proactively stop it. 

“A lot of companies think validating a bank account at initial supplier onboarding is enough,” Chad notes. “But fraud usually doesn’t come from the first interaction — it sneaks in during a change.” 

John brings the perspective of a company that sees the global banking validation and fraud landscape in real time, sharing how fraudsters manipulate payment processes and where organizations tend to overlook risk.
