Episode Description from the Publisher

Recorded live on the floor of Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam, this special episode of What the Fraud? brings together some of the sharpest minds in fintech to tackle the questions that matter most right now: how do you deploy AI at scale, build trust with users, fight increasingly sophisticated fraud, and keep growing without getting left behind?Direct from the Sumsub booth, Thomas Taraniuk, Head of Partnerships at Sumsub, speaks with leaders from across the financial services ecosystem about the forces reshaping the industry: from agentic AI and stablecoins to merchant fraud blind spots and the cost of compliance.Our guests include:Georgios Kolovos (Payments and Fintech Leader, EMEA, Nvidia) on whether a single AI model can power the entire payment stack, the value of transaction foundation models, and why collaboration between financial institutions is essential to staying ahead of fraudJoe Wilson (Chief Evangelist, Bunq) on building trust with expats and digital nomads, why brutal transparency is a competitive advantage, and the case for intervening on the user's side before fraud ever reaches the back endRik Goslinga (VP, Account Management, EMEA, Adyen) on the merchant blind spots that still plague the industry, why fraud is no longer just a checkout problem, and how machine learning is making the fraud-conversion-cost trade-off less of a zero-sum gameIvan Zhiznevsky (Founder and CEO, 3S Money) on unlocking new markets through modernised payments, the rise of stablecoins as a legitimate business currency, and why governments need to stop outsourcing compliance to the private sectorAcross every conversation, a common thread emerges: the fraudsters are moving faster, the technology is more powerful than ever, and the institutions that will win are the ones willing to share knowledge, question their assumptions, and embed intelligence across the entire stack, not just at the point of payment.Because in a world where fraud is being industrialised, defence can't afford to stay manual.Thomas Taraniuk on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomtaraniukGeorgios Kolovos on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gkolovosJoe Wilson on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/risenujoeRik Goslinga on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rikgoslingaIvan Zhiznevsky: linkedin.com/in/ivan-zhiznevsky-a0074190 Hosted on Acast.
