Past speakers

"Instant payments are a game changer for small business cash flow needs. But you need to change the way you tackle fraud. It has to happen just as fast as the payment, or faster.”
Arjun Ramakrishnan, Head of Risk at GoDaddy Payments
"Fraud prevention isn’t owned by one player anymore. Banks, fintechs, processors, and merchants all share accountability for keeping the system clean.”
Steven Bufferd, Managing Director at J.P. Morgan
"Once people see an agent complete a purchase safely, it becomes normal. Comfort follows a clean first experience.”
Marco Mahrus, Commercial Partnerships at OpenAI
"Fraud and compliance run on different tracks. If your fraud controls and your BSA program don’t talk, you create blind spots.”
Brian Hamilton, President of Coastal Community Bank
"We are moving from account takeovers to AI agent takeovers. You have good agents and bad agents, and risk teams have to tell them apart in real time.”
Samant Nagpal, Head of Risk & Payments at Gusto
