Credit card companies and Banks profit from fraud. They recover the money from the merchant, but retain their fees and commissions from the fraud itself, they levy fees for each chargeback, they make commissions (twice) if currency conversions are involved, they "hold" merchant remittance for 30 to 90 days to cover possible fraud (and profit from short term investment of this), and they usually increase the commissions they charge on all transactions to any business they consider "risky", and any who suffer unusually large numbers of chargebacks.
