📅 Date: Mon 9 Dec 🕙Time: 14:00-16:00 📍Location: Cardiff - HSBC 👉 Register: https://bit.ly/4eyjN31 As the financial technology landscape evolves, the urgency of robust fraud detection and prevention has never been greater. Financial Services and fintech face growing pressures as cyber threats become more sophisticated and regulatory demands intensify. This panel brings together industry experts to examine the current state of fraud prevention, spotlight the latest advancements, and discuss how fintech firms can protect both their platforms and their customers—all without unintentionally limiting financial access. While cutting-edge fraud detection tools are essential for a secure fintech ecosystem, they need to be implemented with care to avoid unintentionally excluding those who are vulnerable or underserved. The panel will explore how fraud prevention measures, if not carefully calibrated, can impact financial access for certain communities—and what fintech firms can do to ensure that security efforts align with goals for greater financial inclusion. Join us and our panellists for an insightful discussion at the HSBC UK office in Cardiff.
