                <description>New trends in payments are emerging, with regulator-led innovations sparking &#39;coopetition&#39; among governments, private companies, and big tech.

                <description>In the final installment of this 3 Part series, FinextraTV and Nick Fleetwood, Head of Data Services, Form3, discusses how fraud prevention is all about customer experience. Consumers are accustomed to payments flowing in real-time and funds reaching their destination in seconds. However, when customer are notified about a potential fraudulent attempt, this in itself is a negative user experience. As a result, banks must ensure they are using insights to understand the level of trust - how trusted the sender is, how trusted the receiver is, and how trusted the relationship between them is - before sending a fraud alert. Further, suspicion can also be a valuable tool in any bank&#39;s toolkit: by analysing behavioural characteristics of the payment, coersion can be detected and aligned with how fraud has been recorded in the past, prioritising customer experience.</description>

                <description>In Part 2 of this series, FinextraTV and Chris Oakley, Head of Fraud, Form3, highlights an upcoming substantial shift in the sector where due to incoming regulations from the PSR in the UK and PSD3 across the European Union, banks will have to double down on their focus on the risk associated with receiving a payment, not only sending a payment as has been the case historically. With current fraud screening methods built for outbound payments, after these regulations are mandated, receiving banks and sending banks will be forced to split liability for fraud and reimburse victims due to the PSR. This dichotomy must also lead to changes in the way that money mules are detected, which is usually also conducted retrospectively - where this convergence of fraud mitigation and anti-money laundering happens, risks need to be managed in real-time and a wider single view of the customer will be of paramount importance.</description>

VoP must also be considered as a fraud and financial crime mitigator, and the conversation turns to how cross border payments could open the door to potential scams and how banks must stop operating in siloes to prevent them. Banfico is running an upcoming webinar to delve deeper into these topics with other key players in the VOP landscape.</description>
