Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Payments fraud prevention across the lifecycle: Before, during, and after the money moves
Q: What is the future of fraud controls in the life cycle with instant payments and AI?
Controls should remain preventative first, with AI helping to triage risk, prioritize investigations, and support narrative building for recovery. The focus is on network‑level visibility and real‑time decisioning to stop fraud before it happens, while maintaining a healthy balance with customer experience.
Payments fraud prevention across the lifecycle: Before, during, and after the money moves
Q: How does the indemnity framework help in returning funds, and what should banks do to maximize its effectiveness?
The indemnity framework allows a sender to request funds back and designate an indemnity code that clarifies fraud as the reason, enabling a faster, real‑time path for recovery. Banks should ensure clear governance, proper routing of indemnity actions through their case management, and proactive communication with counterparties to keep the flow of recoveries transparent and timely.
Payments fraud prevention across the lifecycle: Before, during, and after the money moves
Q: What mistakes do institutions make post-loss, do you think?
Institutions often fail to properly leverage the indemnity process, underestimate the importance of timely collaboration with the sending and receiving banks, and neglect prioritizing the highest‑risk cases in the recovery workflow, which can leave customers under compensated and delays persistent in resolution.
AI transaction monitoring for agentic banking risk
Q: What are the top governance questions a CRO should ask when considering agentic banking?
Key questions include how to adapt risk programs to new channels, how to handle runaway agents (circuit breakers), distinguishing human vs. agent sessions, and how to manage third-party partnerships with vendors like Payment AI.
AI transaction monitoring for agentic banking risk
Q: How can banks maintain trust when AI is initiating financial actions?
Trust is built through auditable decision processes, robust controls like OTPs, sanction checks, and transparent governance around who can authorize what actions.
