Scammers, beware: The fight against APP fraud is intensifying! 🚨 With APP fraud on the rise, innovative solutions and collaboration across industries are more critical than ever. Our CISO, Bronwyn B., shared insights in FStech’s recent feature on how banks, PSPs, and telcos are transforming the way we tackle this challenge. Bronwyn highlights the importance of cross-industry partnerships, like the newly launched Scam Signal initiative - a game-changing collaboration between UK banks and mobile network operators. As she explains: "Cross-industry partnerships are essential to combat the sheer scale of fraud we're facing: recent reports highlight a staggering £420 billion 'fraudemic' is sweeping the globe." From data-driven fraud detection tools to real-time monitoring and AI-powered insights, PSPs like PPRO are stepping up to safeguard customers and help prevent fraud before it happens.

Why LATAM is the next big thing in payments 👀 Last week, our team attended MRC | Merchant Risk Council Connects event in London which shed light on what it takes to thrive in the booming Latin American payments market. A panel discussion featured insights from our own Eelco Dettingmeijer, alongside Jason Macklin (ESW), Gisela Vivian (Microsoft), Mark Shaw (Flutter Entertainment), and Catherine Tong (FCA)(Allyiz). Here are some key takeaways, including insights shared by fintech expert Nadja Bennett 📱🏦 of TrueLayer, who also attended: 🔐 Fraud in LATAM: - Fraud rates are 7–8x higher than in North America, making robust prevention a must - Local expertise is everything—global fraud tools often fall short without regional insights 📈 Beyond Brazil and Mexico: - While Brazil and Mexico lead the market, don’t overlook LATAM’s emerging players - Hyper-local payment methods like OXXO (cash for online purchases in Mexico) and PIX (instant payments in Brazil) are essential for success 🛠️ Fraud vs. CX: - The real challenge? Stopping fraud without disrupting customer experience ⚖️ Aggregator or direct? - Both approaches have pros and cons. The right choice depends on your business model and strategy A big thank you to the MRC Team for organising such an insightful event and to everyone who joined us for a lively discussion.
