Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI made building cheap. What are fraud vendors still for? | Netanel Kabala, co-founder @Duly
Q: What would be in your mind the first few areas you would say to them, look, you want to probably look around these areas and maybe where not to look at?
Kabala recommends identifying distinct customer segments and finding those with poor performance or economics. Teams should assess whether fraud is a core business function, then build capabilities around specific needs while avoiding generic projects that are readily available from vendors.
AI made building cheap. What are fraud vendors still for? | Netanel Kabala, co-founder @Duly
Q: Would we actually need vendors in one or two years? Would they have their own place?
Kabala says vendors will remain valuable, especially for network data, device intelligence, and dependable infrastructure, while larger companies increasingly build or customize specific capabilities themselves.
Why Bolt lets some fraud in when it enters a new market | Jaanus Uudmäe, Head of Fraud at Bolt
Q: How do you actually measure your effectiveness here?
The team estimates prevented refunds by the value denied, but false positives and lost customer value are difficult to measure. It uses customer-service signals, manual investigation, and ranges based on available data to monitor performance.
Why Bolt lets some fraud in when it enters a new market | Jaanus Uudmäe, Head of Fraud at Bolt
Q: How do you actually manage to automate and build rules or even models around these kind of problems?
For chargebacks, the team can test flagged transactions and use chargeback outcomes to measure rules. For less clearly labeled behaviors such as bonus abuse, the team must create its own labels, use proxy metrics, and review decisions carefully.
Who is the Saturday Fraud Strategist, with Hailey Windham
Q: My next question to you is, what is the Fraud Strategist?
Hailey explains that Fraud Strategist is less a job title and more a state of mind focused on strategic thinking, where the emphasis is on long-term goals, organizing around reactive capabilities, and elevating the discourse from tactical firefighting to strategic planning.
