Zelle & ApplePay Make Moves to Shift Fraud Liability; Binance Exposed for Enabling Terrorism

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick delves into the pivotal shifts in liability rules for ApplePay on Card-Not-Present transactions, and on the Zelle network. For Zelle, the news about a potential liability shift is designed to protect consumers from scam-induced losses. As financial institutions prepare for an overhaul that positions them to absorb losses from deceptively induced transactions, Karisse examines the potential impacts on fraud prevention and customer safety.

Furthermore, Karisse takes a critical look at the fallout from Binance's regulatory violations; exploring the heavy $4 billion penalty levied against the cryptocurrency exchange for its failure to implement necessary Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and to report suspicious activities. Karisse discusses how Binance's actions facilitated illegal activity including terrorism, ransomware, and child exploitation materials. Highlighting the broader consequences of neglecting robust fraud prevention measures and the essential need for companies to prioritize compliance to safeguard against financial crimes.
