And as more on-demand businesses spring up, so do the opportunities for fraudsters to operate. We have analysed 26 million transactions from our merchant network in order to illustrate the fraud landscape in the on-demand economy - read more about this [here](https://www.ravelin.com/insights/online-payment-fraud). As we continue to gain data from our ever-expanding merchant network, we increase our insight into the world of online credit card fraud and the behaviours surrounding it. This is invaluable not only to our current customers, but also to all merchants operating in the online space. We have pulled together all of our findings into the infographic below.
