Cardaq’s CEO Hugo Remi joined Jack Robertson from The Payments Association for a new episode of The Insights Podcast — and let’s just say, it was far from your typical compliance conversation. Together, they explored the growing issue of friendly fraud — when legitimate transactions are disputed — and why it’s one of the most underestimated challenges facing today’s payment providers. Hugo shared how early, proactive engagement with regulators can help future-proof financial institutions, and why a UK-wide fraud register could transform how merchants and consumers stay protected. Cardaq is committed to helping our clients stay one step ahead by building payment solutions that are secure against evolving fraud risks. 🎧 The episode is available now on The Payments Association’s page. https://lnkd.in/ek3PywV3 #Cardaq #Fintech #FraudPrevention

Came back to New York to spend some time in our office, still a long way to go, but the dream must come true, otherwise what are we living for? Just behind the Wall Street we are building the legacy since 2018, hopefully 🤞 we will manage to achieve the goals!
