In this episode of Behind Enemy Lines, Michael LaFleur sits down with Chris Oakley, Director of Fraud Intelligence at ThreatMark, to explore the shifting world of fraud regulation. With decades of experience spanning banking and fintech, Chris unpacks how fraud prevention strategies must evolve beyond compliance.
They dig into the unintended consequences of well-meaning regulations—how fraudsters exploit loopholes and why banks often miss the mark by treating regulation as a checkbox. Chris shares lessons from global markets like the UK, Singapore, and Australia, where collaborative, intelligence-led models are showing real progress.
The episode also sheds light on what ThreatMark is building: a secure, data-driven ecosystem that lets banks share fraud intelligence without compromising privacy. Chris argues that fraud is no longer just a risk issue—it’s a customer experience challenge. His advice? Stop accepting “good enough.” To really protect people, banks must rethink their roles and work together to stay ahead.
