Fraud is no longer just a downstream cleanup issue. It's a direct result of cyber incidents that outpace our organizational structures. Siloed teams still overlook weak signals, coordinated attacks manage to get through, and losses grow across different channels. That's why banking leaders need a new strategy: one that treats fraud and cybersecurity as a unified defense, sharing intelligence, standard procedures, and real-time decision-making. In this episode of Banking Transformed, we'll explain how cyber-enabled fraud actually occurs, why traditional structures don't work, and what it takes to stay ahead. We'll also explore the GenAI factor, looking at how attackers are scaling deception and how banks can respond with smarter profiling and faster, smoother decision-making. Joining me is Laura Quevedo, Executive Vice President, Fraud & Decisioning Solutions at Mastercard, a leader at the center of payment resiliency, financial crime prevention, and risk decisioning. She will share how integrated teams and shared intelligence are changing outcomes for institutions worldwide. For banking leaders tasked with protecting their institutions and customers in this new era of converged threats, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for building truly resilient defenses. Because the question is no longer whether your fraud and cyber teams should work together, but how quickly you can make it happen.

Jan Warmus is the director across Europe at EMCD — one of Europe's fastest-growing crypto super apps with over 400,000 verified users. EMCD is positioning itself as a "Web2.5" bridge, offering fiat ramps, staking, and other retail-friendly crypto services in a highly compliant, accessible format. Why you should listen EMCD is a full-spectrum crypto ecosystem. You'll find their mining pool (one of the top global SHA-256 pools), a multi-currency wallet, a savings-type product called Coinhold, and a peer-to-peer exchange all under one roof. Their wallet claims "no seed phrases, no middlemen," and integrates swaps, mining-earnings transfers, and holdings in one interface. They make a clear play for convenience and control: plug-in your mining hardware, track accruals, deploy earnings into savings with up to ~14 % annualized yield (depending on term and asset) — all via one account. Additionally, their mining arm emphasizes daily payouts, low withdrawal thresholds, and global server infrastructure across Europe, Asia, and North America.  EMCD has partnered with Stabul Finance. STABUL Finance operates as a specialized decentralized exchange focused exclusively on stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. The platform uses what it calls a "fourth-generation" automated market maker (AMM) that builds upon previous technologies like Uniswap and Curve. The EMCD-STABUL partnership addresses a significant market gap. While non-USD currencies account for over 40% of global forex trading, less than 1% of on-chain volume involves non-USD stablecoins. This partnership gives EMCD's 400,000 KYC-verified users access to efficient stablecoin and commodity swaps through STABUL's platform. For EMCD users, this integration means seamless access to international currencies and tokenized assets without leaving their primary platform. Users earning cryptocurrency through mining can convert to stable assets, earn yield through Coinhold, and eventually spend through the upcoming EMCD Card – creating a complete financial ecosystem. The timing aligns with EMCD's broader expansion plans. The company offers zero percent mining fees through 2025 and is preparing to launch its crypto debit card, which will connect directly to users' USDT balances for spending at any Visa or Mastercard merchant.   Supporting links Stabull Finance EMCD Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

Do čela českého a slovenského Mastercard nastoupila před dvěma lety, předtím ale dlouhá léta žila ve Velké Británii, kde získavala zkušenosti zejména v segmentu fintechu. A ty se ji nyní více než hodí, jelikož tento segment spolu s novými moderními technologiemi jako je umělá inteligence (AI) začíná silně promlouvat do platebních technologií i samotného bankovních služeb. “Konečně se jednotlivé věci jako je digitální identita, AI, tokenizace a třeba i otevřené bankovnictví začínají propojovat,” říká v dalším Forbes Byznys podcastu šéfka Mastercard pro Českou republiku a Slovensko Jana Lvová, která patří i do Forbes výběru nejvlivnějších žen Česka. Jaké jsou trendy v platebních službách? Kam se dnes posouvá segment kyberbezpečnosti? Je Revolut pro Mastercard konkurencí? A zmizí někdy zcela z trhu klasické platební karty? To vše si poslechněte v podcastu.

In the US, risky assets slid, with tech stocks and cryptocurrencies bearing the brunt of the selling, after long-simmering concerns about lofty valuations were fanned anew by a chorus of Wall Street executives who warned investors to brace for a pullback. In South Korea, the equity benchmark slumped as valuation concerns hammered recent winners such as chip stocks, defense and shipbuilders. For more on the latest market action, we heard from Anna Wu, VanEck Cross-Asset Investment Specialist. She spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong. Plus - we go to Singapore, where we speak to Sandeep Malhotra, Mastercard Executive Vice President for Core Payments in Asia Pacific. He talks about how technology, partnerships, and regulation are redefining how money moves across the region. From real-time payments to cross-border interoperability and the role of AI in fraud prevention, Malhotra shares how Mastercard is modernizing its core network while supporting financial inclusion. We also explore how consumer behavior and digital infrastructure in Asia are influencing global payment trends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
