For the second time in three years, Gov. Brian Kemp is giving Georgians a tax rebate worth more than $1 billion.

Although digital transactions are growing exponentially, check fraud remains a persistent threat to you and your business. The Federal Reserve processed just over 19 billion paper checks in 1993, compared to 3.4 billion in 2022. While fraudsters may target paper checks sent and received by individuals, business checks are likely to be more valuable because business accounts are often well-funded.
