“I think from a prevention perspective, a little friction at the beginning is not necessarily a bad thing.” Real-time payments have become the bedrock of modern life. Whether you’re splitting dinner or closing a corporate buyout, money now moves instantly—and irreversibly. But that convenience comes with a new tangle of risks: fraud, liability, and the shrinking window to react. In this episode of What The Fraud?, we sit down with Arthur Bedel—Global Director of Revenue at VGS, fintech advisor, and Co-founder of Connecting the Dots in Payments. He shares where real-time payments are headed, the biggest fraud trends he's seeing globally, and why a bit of friction might just be our best defense. We dive into real-world case studies, regional differences in adoption, and what financial institutions need to do now to stay ahead of the fraud curve.
