Symcor CEO Holger Kormann highlights the industrialization of fraud in Canada’s financial sector driven by AI and automation, stressing the need for a collaborative fraud-prevention model as Canada prepares to launch Real-Time Rail payments. This model requires integrating identity verification, shared intelligence, and governance into the real-time payment system to counteract rapid and coordinated fraud attacks.
