Madiha Kanwal shared thisWhat a day this was. Feedzai Fusion London brought together customers, partners, industry leaders and colleagues for conversations spanning fraud, scams, identity, AI, data and trust. Three conversations particularly stayed with me: 🔹 Better decisions: preparation, resilience and operational effectiveness when the stakes are high. 🔹 Proportionate friction: using the right intervention at the right moment to help “unstick” a customer from a scam. 🔹 Connected networks: because fraud is a network problem, and tackling it requires better signals and collaboration across the ecosystem. And then came the agentic era, with the launch of Feedzai Farol. Just as valuable were the conversations between sessions, hearing directly from customers, sharing experiences and seeing new connections form. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, travelled to be there and contributed to the conversations, and to the Feedzai team behind the scenes who brought it all together. I’ve captured some of the thinking that stayed with me in the blog below 👇 #FusionLDN #FraudPrevention #FinancialCrime #AgenticAI #FeedzaiMadiha Kanwal shared thisWhat happens at Feedzai Fusion definitely does not stay at Feedzai Fusion! 🔥 🚀 With the top professionals in banking, AI, tech, law enforcement, and financial crime prevention gathered, bold ideas and inspiring takes are bound to happen.

Madiha Kanwal shared thisOne year at Feedzai and a new chapter begins. Hard to believe it’s already been a year. I’ve really enjoyed working closely with customers, navigating the ever-changing fraud landscape, and helping tackle the regulatory, operational and industry challenges that come with it. Now I’m moving into a new role as Senior Product Marketing Manager, bringing that customer and fraud perspective closer to product, positioning and go-to-market. Looking forward to being challenged in a different way, learning plenty and seeing where this next chapter takes me. A little LEGO souvenir to mark one year at Feedzai. Apparently I’m a captain now, according to my son, who kindly donated the hat to complete the look. 😄

From authorised push payment scams to social engineering and account takeover, financial institutions are facing increasingly sophisticated fraud typologies. Strengthening fraud capability across teams is now critical. I’ve just completed another ACAMS Certified Anti Fraud Specialist (CAFS) Virtual Classroom with a highly engaged group of anti financial crime professionals. During the sessions, we explored several areas that are fundamental for modern fraud programmes. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱: • Building effective Fraud Risk Management frameworks by aligning governance, risk assessments, and controls across the organisation • Fraud investigations using structured investigative thinking and evidence based approaches • Fraud detection and analytics using data, technology, and behavioural insights to identify emerging fraud patterns One of the most valuable aspects of the virtual classroom is the live discussion and Q&A. Participants bring real operational challenges and exchange perspectives across institutions, markets, and fraud typologies. Together with Holger Pauco-Dirscherl, CAMS-RM/Audit/FCI, CGSS, CFE, CCM and Dave Dekkers, CAMS, CAMS Audit and FCI, CAFS, CFE, CSS, it was a pleasure guiding these discussions and supporting professionals preparing for the CAFS certification.

Madiha Kanwal reposted thisMadiha Kanwal reposted thisInternational Fraud Week is officially underway and Feedzai’s Daniel Holmes is fundamentally optimistic. Why? Because a lot of what has been talked about is finally happening. This includes: ✅ Financial institutions are shifting away from fragmented solutions to create a single view of all customer interactions. ✅ Fraud is increasingly being measured in terms of its impact on people, not just profit losses. ✅ Global regulations are moving towards an “ecosystem of carefulness” that shares fraud and scam liability among key players, including banks, telecom companies, social media firms, and email providers. Get more reasons to be optimistic this #FraudWeek

Madiha Kanwal liked thisMadiha Kanwal liked thisThe latest Financial Conduct Authority findings on money mules and the UK Home Office's new Anti-Money Laundering Strategy land show fraudsters' evolution. Even as financial firms close more suspected mule accounts, criminals simply bounce stolen funds across multi-account chains before cashing out. They are no longer exploiting weaknesses within organisations but exploiting the gaps between them. To stop them, we have to strike earlier and disrupt activity across the entire ecosystem. No single industry sector sees the full picture: Tech platforms see where criminals recruit and target. Telecoms providers see how they connect and communicate. Financial services firms see where the money flows. As the Home Office sets out a renewed focus on intelligence sharing and coordinated action, industry is challenged with moving information faster than criminals move money. Through Stop Scams UK, organisations across financial services, tech and telecoms are working together to close the gaps fraudsters rely on and prevent harm before it occurs. Read both reports in the comments.

Madiha Kanwal reacted on thisMadiha Kanwal reacted on thisOctober is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and this year, we’re challenging the standard advice about digital safety 🛡️ Every October, businesses and media share a familiar list of best practices for customers to protect themselves online, from updating their passwords to avoiding suspicious links to activating MFA. While this advice is well-meaning, it has an unfortunate side effect: it unfairly places the burden of online safety squarely on the consumers. In reality, people can do everything right and still have their information stolen and abused in an attack. Upstream infrastructure gaps and data breaches at companies people know and trust happen, and the consumer is ultimately most impacted. Andy Renshaw, SVP of Product Management and Strategy at Feedzai, kicks off Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a new playbook for consumer protection that actually meets the challenges and realities of today’s cyberlandscape. Stay tuned throughout this month, as we explore how cybersecurity expands across identity protection, AML, and fraud prevention to ensure the financial system keeps people safe by design 💪 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonthCybersecurity Awareness Month Needs a Reality CheckCybersecurity Awareness Month Needs a Reality Check

Madiha Kanwal liked thisMadiha Kanwal liked thisBioCatch's 2026 Global Scams Report has just been published and my initial reaction is captured below. In particular, it prompted me to think more closely about purchase scams – which, if we need reminding, are over 70% of the scam cases recorded in the UK (UK Finance figures), as well as forming a third of the scams reported globally to BioCatch. Purchase scams are often overlooked because of the larger amounts involved in investment and romance scams. Yet the enablers driving this type of scam are put in front of all of us every single day in the form of fake and misleading adverts on social media and in otherwise harmless casual gaming apps, as just one example. Why is it so difficult to report these and get action taken against such obvious fakes? Is it any wonder that so many people get taken in?

Madiha Kanwal liked thisMadiha Kanwal liked thisAI: WHAT DO EMEA'S LEADING INSTITUTIONS DO DIFFERENTLY? It was fab to be on a panel last week convened by Feedzai. A few reflections / takeaways from me: Talent: We need brilliant "10x" Engineers, but give me someone smart, hungry, with the right mindset and willingness to learn … I’d want them on my team any day. Some of our ex-Apprentices are the best I’ve seen. Ways of working: I think fixed formality, rigid roadmaps, and ties [😊] are for museums. Agility, innovation, rapid problem solving and trainers dominate my day. Ambition: Vital. We’re the UK’s largest fintech and continuing to invest and grow at real pace. #HelpingBritainProsper

Madiha Kanwal reacted on thisMadiha Kanwal reacted on thisIt's been almost a week, and Feedzai Fusion is still on my mind. Our speakers went beyond theory, sharing firsthand, battle-tested strategies that help them keep money moving safely. This level of transparency is a true reflection of what collaboration can look like in practice. And the moment that I'd been waiting for: announcing Feedzai Farol. Farol is an always-on agent that multiplies the impact of fraud teams, delivering rule insights in minutes and cutting investigation time. Bringing it to the stage alongside the whole venue experience gave me goosebumps. It was a real team effort, with a huge shout-out to the creative wizards behind it. And now that Farol is out in the world, you'll be hearing me talk about it a lot more!
