## Source summary

The Paypers interviews Microblink CEO Hartley Thompson about identity evidence, document injection and fraud in real-time payments and agentic commerce. He advocates checking signals at capture, re-verifying actors at higher-risk moments and measuring false rejects, abandonment, review costs and decision time alongside losses. These are a vendor executive's recommendations, not independently measured product performance or a new mandatory compliance standard.

## Why it matters

The interview connects onboarding evidence with later payment risk and argues that lower fraud losses alone do not establish a better customer outcome.

## Key numbers

No independently checkable key number was extracted from this report.
