A Matter Of Trust: How Ai Is Reshaping Risk Assessment

Financial services institutions have long relied on machine learning for risk management, but the threat landscape has grown exponentially in the age of generative artificial intelligence (AI), according to executives from Capital One, Visa and Alloy. Fraudsters now have access to AI tools, including synthetic identity generation and real-time phishing attacks, they said. But AI is also arming companies to supercharge their defensive capabilities, since trust and security are the foundation of financial transactions. “Trust is the very foundation of commerce,” said Rajat Taneja, president of technology at Visa. “When two unknown parties are transacting, they have to trust that the transaction will occur correctly, the money will be transferred properly, any dispute will be managed, and there’s someone handling fraud and scams.”

Uk Fintechs Lost As Much As £5 Million To Fraud Last Year, As Fraud Events Rise

More than two in three UK fintech companies (68%) are reporting higher fraud volumes compared with one year ago, according to new data published today by Alloy, a leading identity and fraud prevention platform provider to over 600 fintechs and financial institutions globally.79% of UK fintechs say they lost at least £500,000 to fraud in the 12 months to October 2024. Strikingly, two in five (38%) fintechs reported losses of between £1m and £5m in that time, and one in ten (9%) lost more than £5m.Alloy’s State of UK Fraud Report identifies three key factors impacting UK fintech’s response to rising fraud:Regulatory compliance weighs more heavily than the risk of financial or customer losses93% of fintech C-Suite leaders ranked regulatory penalties and reputational damage as the most concerning consequences of fraud – ahead of direct financial losses and the loss of clients (both 87%).In late 2024, the UK’s Payments Systems Regulator introduced mandatory reimbursement requirements for victims of APP scams, which require that the sending and receiving organisations each shoulder 50% of the reimbursement cost. As a result, 97% of UK fintechs agreed that it is critical for receiving payment service providers (PSPs) to have robust financial crime controls. Indeed, two-thirds (67%) of UK fintechs say the PSR’s rules are driving overall increased investment in fraud prevention.James Baston-Pitt, Alloy’s Head of Growth UK, EMEA and APAC, comments: “The UK is home to one of the most sophisticated anti-fraud regulatory regimes. However, domestic regulatory innovation can not solve the problem on its own. Fraud is a global, borderless issue
