Phone and Card-Not-Present Payment Fraud

October 1, 2025

Big Risks for your Business from Phone Order and Card-Not-Present Payments

Fraud isn't just a buzzword—it's a massive threat. Check out these 2024 figures on payment fraud across key regions:

Card-Not-Present fraud on the Rise

These numbers scream one thing: Card-Npt-Present (CNP) fraud is skyrocketing, and phone orders are prime targets. In Europe alone, it's up a whopping 84% in CNP share. If your business handles phone payments, you're playing in this high-stakes arena.

PCI DSS: The Rulebook You Can't Ignore

Enter PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)—the blueprint for protecting card data. It applies to all payment channels, including phone orders. Key takeaways?

  • Risk-mitigation tech like EMV Card Chips and 3D Secure Authorization has slashed card-present fraud, pushing crooks toward CNP.
  • Requirements cover mail, phone, and e-commerce—no exceptions.
  • For phone-specific guidance, check out the PCI Standard for Telephone Payments: Protecting Telephone-Based Payment Card Data.

Bottom line: Non-compliance isn't just risky; it's expensive.

The Human Factor: Your Team Could Be the Weakest Link

People are the heart of your business, but they're also the biggest fraud risk. Anyone with access to card data falls under PCI DSS scrutiny. Here's how to tighten up:

  • Policies Matter: Ensure card data is shielded from unauthorized eyes.
  • No Storing Sensitive Info: Ditch the CVV code post-transaction—no writing it down!
  • Ban Risky Tools: No notebooks, phones, cameras, or recording devices near payment areas.
  • Training is Key: Educate employees and supervisors on proper handling and spotting red flags, like unusually large orders.

Suspicious behaviors? Train your team to flag them early. It's about creating a culture of security.
