Here’s what we discussed:
As 2025 approaches, financial institutions must continue to adapt their fraud prevention strategies to keep pace with evolving threats. The rise of generative AI has ushered in a new era of fraud, introducing new challenges such as faster and hyper-realistic synthetic identities, deepfakes and increasingly sophisticated scams. This rapid evolution of these threats poses challenges for the future, requiring institutions to stay one step ahead. Yet, the ultimate challenge isn’t just in identifying these risks—it’s in balancing fraud detection with a seamless customer experience, ensuring that security measures don’t become a barrier to customer acquisition.
This roundtable was a peer-driven conversation, exploring not only the fraud vectors emerging today but also the strategies that will keep financial institutions secure and competitive as we move into 2025 and beyond. From innovative technologies to evolving best practices, the group discussed how institutions can future-proof their risk management while fostering growth and trust.
