What The Fraud?

• APAC Fraud Insights: Singapore WTF? Summit - Part 2

  The fraudsters have already figured out what most financial institutions haven't yet: silos don't work. While your fraud team, cyber team and compliance team operate independently with separate tools and data, criminals are exploiting the gaps between them at an industrial scale.This is part two of two special episodes recorded live at the WTF? Summit in Singapore. Host Thomas Taraniuk sits down with T Raja Kumar, former president of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Holly Fang from the Singapore FinTech Association, and Pasi Koistinen, CISO at Coinhako, to discuss what happens when AI becomes both weapon and shield in the fight against financial crime.T Raja Kumar reveals why cutting off money flows matters more than raiding scam compounds, Holly Fang explains why ASEAN's fragmented data sharing laws are a fraudster's playground, and Pasi Koistinen makes the case that your separate fraud, cyber and compliance systems are exactly what criminals count on. From satellite connected fraud as a service operations to the uncomfortable truth that compliance teams lack the AI skills they desperately need, this conversation cuts through the optimism.If Part 1 was about cross industry collaboration, Part 2 is about getting your own house in order first. Because before you can share threat data across borders, you need to share it across your own departments.Sumsub's website: sumsub.comSumsub's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/sumsubSumsub's Instagram: instagram.com/sumsubcomSumsub on X: x.com/SumsubcomSumsub's YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@sumsubcomThomas Taraniuk on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomtaraniukT Raja Kumar on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/t-raja-kumar-0766317a/Holly Fang on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/hollyhfang/Pasi Koistinen on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pasikoistinen/ Hosted on Acast.

• APAC Fraud Insights: Singapore WTF? Summit - Part 1

  The financial crime battlefield is shifting. What used to be separate fights against fraud and money laundering has merged into one coordinated attack on the global financial system. As scammers drain accounts and launder proceeds through mule networks faster than banks can respond, APAC is becoming ground zero for a new kind of financial warfare.Recorded live at the WTF? Summit in Singapore, this is part one of two special episodes bringing together frontline defenders. Host Thomas Taraniuk sits down with Hassan Ahmed from Coinbase Singapore, Karthik Ramanathan from Mastercard, and Caryn Leong from ACAMS to discuss how the industry is responding to an evolving threat landscape.From sophisticated deepfakes to money vanishing across borders in minutes, this conversation reveals why fraud networks work together seamlessly while banks are struggling to share data. Hassan explains why Singapore's proactive approach to digital assets sets the standard for Asia, Karthik reveals how mule accounts are the real battleground (not the final transaction), and Caryn makes the case for why compliance teams need to act like crisis responders, not process managers.If you're building in payments, crypto, or financial services across APAC, this episode is your reality check on what's coming in 2026 and why speed matters more than perfection.Sumsub's website: sumsub.comSumsub's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/sumsubSumsub's Instagram: instagram.com/sumsubcomSumsub on X: x.com/SumsubcomSumsub's YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@sumsubcomThomas Taraniuk on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomtaraniukHassan Ahmed on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/hassanahmed3Karthik Ramanathan on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karthik-ramanathan-446738Caryn Leong on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/carynleong/ Hosted on Acast.

• Glovo's Fraud Playbook: From Free Lunches to Money Laundering

  "Fraud is a lot more popular today than it was 10 years ago simply because today you can advertise fraud on TikTok, Snapchat, whatever platform, and you can just have tutorials on how to gamify anything you want at your doorstep."We think of fraudsters as criminals behind laptops, draining accounts without conscience. But what about that free lunch you claimed on your delivery app or the refund you knew wasn't deserved? Could you be part of the problem too? As the on-demand delivery industry explodes, it's creating new opportunities not just for convenience, but for fraud at every touchpoint.Our guest in this episode is Boris Montin, FinTech Director at Glovo, who joins host Thomas Taraniuk to discuss how delivery platforms navigate fraud across countries, balancing frictionless customer experiences with robust security measures.From opportunistic coupon abusers and professional fraudster networks to merchant money laundering and SMS verification scams in Central Asia, this episode reveals the creative schemes targeting delivery platforms. Boris explains how Glovo uses AI and machine learning to detect fraud in real time, why the "perfect level of fraud" is actually about acceptable friction, and how the democratisation of fraud through social media is changing the game. Whether you're ordering dinner or building a marketplace, this conversation offers crucial insights into protecting platforms whilst keeping customers happy.Sumsub's website: sumsub.comSumsub's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/sumsubSumsub's Instagram: instagram.com/sumsubcomSumsub on X: x.com/SumsubcomSumsub's YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@sumsubcomThomas Taraniuk on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomtaraniukBorin Montin on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/montinboris/ Hosted on Acast.
