As AI-powered fraud grows more sophisticated, banks need better ways to detect risk before payments are sent.In this special episode of The Payments Podcast, host Owen McDonald brings together insights from Bottomline fraud experts Eric Choltus, Marc Salinas, and Dalit Amitai to explore three critical fraud signals banks may be overlooking.From digital impersonation and behavioral anomalies to the power of shared intelligence across financial institutions, this conversation examines how leading banks can identify risk earlier, reduce false positives, and intervene before money moves. The experts discuss the growing impact of AI on fraud, why disconnected systems create blind spots, and how a combination of technology, human oversight, and industry collaboration can strengthen fraud prevention strategies.#Fraud #Banking #AI #TreasuryManagement #Fintech
Fraudsters share information and evolve their tactics quickly. So why are financial institutions still fighting fraud in isolation? In this episode, Owen McDonald is joined by Dalit Amitai, Head of Product, Cyberfraud & Risk Management at Bottomline, to discuss how intelligence sharing and industry collaboration can help organizations strengthen their defenses, identify threats faster, and stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes.#FraudPrevention #RiskManagement #Banking #Payments #FinTech
Payments are often treated as the final step in procure-to-pay, but that limits the value they can bring. In this episode, Paul McMeekin sits down with Kristian "KO" O'Meara, Chief Commercial Officer at PairSoft, a market leader in AI-driven AP automation, procurement, and B2B payments, to discuss why payments need to be considered earlier in the process.Together they explore how finance teams can reduce invoice processing costs, accelerate cycle times, increase touchless processing, and advance accounts payable automation. They also discuss where AI is creating real value across P2P, and where it still falls short. If you're looking to simplify payments, improve AP efficiency, and make automation work harder for your business, this is a practical, honest take on what's working today. #B2BPayments #P2P #ProcureToPay #AI
The role of the CFO is evolving rapidly. Finance leaders are expected to drive strategy, manage risk, and deliver deeper business insight while navigating increasingly complex technology landscapes. In this episode, Owen McDonald is joined by Gareth Priest, Chief Product Officer of Bottomline, to discuss how the Office of the CFO is adapting in the age of AI.Together, they explore how disconnected data impacts decision-making, where AI is delivering value beyond automation, and why connected finance ecosystems are critical to managing risk and driving better business outcomes.#AI #FinanceTransformation #AIInFinance #OfficeOfTheCFO
Accounts receivable is still more manual than it should be, with teams juggling inconsistent payment data, slow processes, and limited visibility into what’s actually coming in. In this episode, Jamie Delmedico talks through why reconciliation takes so long, where ERP systems fall short, and how AI is starting to change the way AR teams manage cash flow. For CFOs, finance leaders, and AR teams, it’s a practical guide to reducing DSO, improving visibility, and removing unnecessary complexity from the process.
MHC CFO Aaron Stenhaug joins host Paul McMeekin to share how finance leaders can stay disciplined in uncertain markets while still investing in modernization. They discuss practical ROI tests for AI and automation, embedding fraud controls into payments workflows, and why treating payments as a strategic capability can improve cash flow, risk management, and working capital.#CFO #Payments #AIinFinance #RiskManagement #FinanceTransformation
Stablecoins are getting a lot of attention in payments right now. The bigger question is what they’re actually useful for.In this episode, Jessica Cheney and Colin Swain unpack where stablecoin fits in corporate finance today, from cross-border payments and liquidity to FX risk, cost, and the real use cases behind the hype. They also explore why stablecoin is likely to sit alongside existing payment rails, becoming another asset within familiar treasury platforms rather than replacing them. Finally, the conversation looks at how AI and automation, combined with programmable money, could reshape how finance teams manage payments and liquidity.#CorporateFinance #B2BPayments #Stablecoin #TreasuryManagement #FutureofFinance
