Proactive Protection: Tackling Friendly Fraud and Regulatory Risk in Finance

The Payments Association

 In this episode of The Insights Podcast, host Jack Robertson of The Payments Association speaks with Hugo Remy, CEO of Cardaq, about how financial institutions can stay ahead of fraud and regulatory challenges. They explore why early engagement with regulators is crucial for preventing compliance issues, and how the growing threat of “friendly fraud”, where customers dispute legitimate transactions, is impacting businesses. Hugo shares his vision for a UK-wide friendly fraud register that could help banks and merchants share intelligence, reduce losses, and strengthen trust across the financial ecosystem. This conversation sheds light on the balance between customer protection and business resilience in today’s complex payments landscape.
