Fighting the Rising Tide of Scams with Carsten Helm
Description
A fake invoice. A dubious text message. Most of us have brushed off a scam attempt at some point. But what happens when someone falls for one and what responsibility do banks have in stopping it?
In this episode of BCG on Compliance, host Hanjo Seibert speaks with Carsten Helm, one of Europe’s leading voices in anti-financial crime. With over 15 years of experience fighting fraud across traditional banking and Fintech, Carsten has witnessed first-hand how the fraud industry has grown into a highly organized, data-driven enterprise—and how banks must adapt if they want to keep pace.
They discuss how the nature of fraud has shifted from targeting banks to targeting vulnerable clients, why scams are growing faster than anti-money laundering threats, and what banks and regulators need to get right so they can protect customers and rebuild trust.
