Fraud is winning: Why identity, AML and Open Banking need to work together
What's happening
Fraudsters are outpacing single-point defenses by using AI, mobile attack layers and Crime as a Service to scale cheap, automated attacks. Stories cite AI-powered deepfakes in account openings, AI-enabled B2B scams that make fraud cheap and trust expensive, and failures of single identity checks during remote onboarding.
