HEADLINE: The future of payments & fraud

  • Over the last few years, we have witnessed a significant shift in consumer behaviour towards digital. The rapid advances in technology have changed the way we spend, manage our money and live our lives.
  • Unsurprisingly, where consumers spend and move money, criminals follow. And so, as e-commerce has increased, so has fraud. 
  • However, AI is changing everything – both increasing the risk of fraud, but also transforming how we protect every stage of the payments ecosystem.
