Understanding Credit Risk vs. Fraud Risk

Credit risk and fraud risk are fundamentally different, primarily due to the element of intent involved. Fraud typically involves malicious intent from the onset, as fraudsters aim to deceive businesses for personal gain. In contrast, credit risk often arises when consumers face unforeseen financial hardships, such as job loss or rising living costs, which can lead to difficulties in meeting payment obligations. This distinction requires that businesses develop tailored strategies for each risk type, balancing customer relationships with risk management.
