Jeff Scott, VP of Fraud Intelligence at Q2, recently spoke with BankDirector and share Q2's approach to identify and combating modern fraud. 

Fraud's impact at your financial institution goes well beyond financial losses. It damages your account holder relationships, increases your operational burdens, and make it harder for you to focus on growth and innovation.

When faced with fighting everything from sophisticated account takeover tactics to old-school check fraud, legacy approaches are no longer enough. You need a strategy that can detect suspicious behavior earlier, respond faster, and adapt as fraud tactics evolve.

In a recent video interview with BankDirector (posted below), Jeff Scott, VP of Fraud Intelligence at Q2, broke down what modern fraud defense should look like. You’ll hear why behavioral signals matter, how AI-powered risk models can improve detection, and why real-time interdiction is becoming essential. Jeff also explains how better visibility and smarter workflows can help teams investigate incidents and strengthen defenses over time.
