About this episode:

Host David Barton-Grimley is joined by some great guests to explore what fintech product leaders are doing to combat fraud.

Fraud isn’t going away anytime soon.

Scammers now use artificial intelligence, deepfake video calls, and emotionally manipulative tactics - like romance scams - to exploit a growing population of digital-first but fraud-naive users. For bad actors, it’s a golden era.

But fintechs aren’t standing still. They’re turning that same technology into defensive tools, aiming to stop fraud before it even starts.

In this episode, we unpack the modern fraud landscape and explore what it means to fight fraud at the product-build level - asking how product managers are tackling fraud from the very start of the creation journey and at every step thereafter.

This week's guests:

Joe Colchester - Head of Product at 11:FS Pulse 

Tony Brancato - Chief Product Officer at Charlie 

Monica Millares - Chief Product Officer at BigPay
