About this episode:

On this week’s Fintech Insider Insights, in partnership with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, we’re diving into one of the most pressing challenges in financial services: digital identity.

Every time someone opens an account or logs into a service, one big question needs answering: is this person really who they say they are?

Fraudsters are getting smarter - using deepfakes, synthetic identities, and AI-driven attacks to fool even the most advanced systems. In fact, according to LexisNexis Risk Solutions, 1 in 11 new accounts is now fraudulent.

So, how do businesses balance fraud prevention, regulatory pressure, and customer experience - without adding friction? And could the very tech that’s fuelling the problem also be part of the solution?

To unpack all this, our host Benjamin Ensor is joined by a fantastic panel of guests.

This week's guests:

Lorraine Salmond - Head of Identity Strategy, UK and Ireland at LexisNexis Risk Solutions 

Katryna Dow - CEO and Founder of Meeco 

Azy Shojaeian - Group Chief Compliance & Risk Officer & MLRO at Pockit & Monese
