“The future of fraud prevention is not more alerts, but better context behind every decision.”
In the June 2026 edition of the IBSi FinTech Journal, our Co-Founder and CEO Abhishek Tuppada sat down with IBS Intelligence to discuss why digital trust is shifting from a one-time onboarding checkpoint to a continuous capability - and what that shift demands from fraud, AML, and compliance operations.
The conversation covers the coordinated nature of modern financial crime - mule networks, synthetic identities, and AI-assisted attacks that cannot be understood through isolated alerts - and the thinking behind Verafye's graph-native Network Risk Intelligence: resolving entities, mapping cross-entity transaction networks, and giving lean risk teams investigation-grade evidence behind every decision.
