In a world of AI-enabled scams and instant payments, banks must defend trust at the speed of risk and redefine their fraud strategies.

Fraud is often viewed as friction—a cost to manage or a risk to contain. But in today’s environment of AI-enabled scams, organized fraud networks, and Canada’s upcoming Real-Time Rail—where payments settle in seconds—that mindset is no longer enough.

March marks Fraud Prevention Month in Canada—a timely opportunity to rethink how organizations approach one of today’s fastest-evolving risks.

In this episode of A CGI Conversation, Derek Marinos speaks with Tammy McKinnon, Senior Vice President of Global Fraud Management at Scotiabank, and Neha Gupta, Director, Consulting and Financial Services Fraud Prevention Expert at CGI. Together, they explore how leading organizations are reframing fraud prevention as a strategic enabler of trust, resilience and long-term growth.

From the rise of social engineering and agentic AI to the growing importance of data, analytics and ecosystem collaboration, this boardroom-level discussion delivers practical, executive insights for leaders navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How the fraud landscape has shifted toward social engineering and AI-enabled scams
• Why fraud is now a persistent, enterprise-wide risk—not just an operational issue
• The role of data, analytics and signal fusion in preventing fraud before it happens
• How real-time payments are reshaping fraud risk—and what leaders must do to respond
• What executives and boards should prioritize to build trust, resilience and long-term growth
