WEBINAR
Unmasking the Invisible
Reimagining Fraud Risk Strategy in the Instant Payment Era
Fraud management is evolving from rule-based and reactive systems to intelligence-led, adaptive ecosystems. While banks today detect suspicious activity in real time, the next challenge is detecting smarter — with precision, context, and foresight. The fraud landscape now spans sophisticated scams, socially engineered attacks, and interconnected mule networks that mimic genuine customer behaviour.
To stay ahead, banks must integrate behavioural profiling, device intelligence, and risk-based authentication that learns and adapts with every transaction. Network analytics can uncover hidden connections across mule accounts; machine learning can predict anomalies before they cause loss; and text analytics can interpret customer communications to flag deception patterns. The future of fraud prevention lies in unifying data, analytics, and human insight to move from real-time reaction to real-time anticipation — ensuring security and trust in an instant payment world.
Recent regulatory priorities, the growth of instant payments, and the rise of scam sophistication have made it critical for banks to modernize their defence stack. The webinar highlights how next-generation fraud engines can deliver agility, accuracy, and control — protecting trust while improving efficiency across onboarding, payments, and transaction monitoring.
