Question

Multifactor Authentication for invoices emailed from Quickbooks for Payment

Hi there... I have a client who uses QuickBooks to email invoices to clients for payments. 

 

Does QuickBooks offer a way for my client to add multifactor authentication so he and his client are confident that the invoice and payment information are correct?

 

Many companies have been caught by cyber criminals who hack an email with an invoice attached and send a piggyback email advising the client of a recent change in banking information and to direct payment to a fraudulent account.

 

If this is e-fraud is successful, the Quickbooks Client has an outstanding Account Receivable due from a Client who now has to pay the invoice a 2nd time. 

 

No matter how you look at it, both parties lose. 

 

Please advise is a solution exists to resolve this issue with a multifactor type of invoice delivery.

 

Thank you.
