Spotlight Series: Making Payments Truly Safer

“Safer payments” must be more than just a catch phrase. From sextortion to elder financial exploitation all payment types are being used to exploit people and we are all at risk. The financial services industry has the opportunity to do even more good for society than ever believed. Human crime is the exploitation of human beings for financial gain: human trafficking scams, elder financial exploitation and child exploitation. In this session you will learn about some of the top financially motivated human crimes and how inherent gaps in the payments ecosystem are being exploited to support these crimes. More importantly you will hear stories on how hundreds in the financial services community are joining the law enforcement community around specific initiatives to advance their financial programs to protect the most vulnerable. The speaker in this session will share practical strategies to disrupt these threats and challenge the listener to innovate new ways to establish anti-human crime programs that deliver an ROI and build a truly safer payments ecosystem.
