## Source summary

PaymentsJournal interviews Nasdaq Verafin's Greg Williamson about fraud prevention across cards, ACH and wires. He argues that AI increases the scale and targeting of familiar scams and that institutions need receiving-account behaviour and shared intelligence beyond their own systems. The article discusses consortium approaches and AI-assisted triage; it is a vendor perspective, not a new product launch or independent proof of fraud reduction.

## Why it matters

The discussion links payment-fraud detection to recipient and network context without presenting vendor estimates as independently established losses.
