• 974. Insights: Trust me, I’m verified - The future of digital identity in financial services

  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 To explore the insights Lorraine Salmond from LexisNexis Risk Solutions shares in this week’s episode, you can download the latest Global Cybercrime Report for free -- Links to check out:  Join our WhatsApp community, where you can get the inside track on all all things 11:FS, as well as having your say on the things we should be paying attention to. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://chat.whatsapp.com/KpA4gFbbWDlLFm7kx39raf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support our charity partner School-Home Support ⁠⁠⁠ -- Support our sponsors: If you're running an early-stage business with Seed or Series A funding, Tide’s new savings account offers rates up to 4.48% (AER), with instant access to your money.
