Taktile

Financial institutions are tangled in fragmented AML tools, and fraudsters are slipping through the cracks. It’s time to rebuild smarter. In his latest article, Dustin J. Eaton CFE CAMS CFCI CFCS CAFP CGSS CAMS-RM CAFS (Principal of Fraud & AML at Taktile) explores how financial institutions can move from siloed point solutions to horizontal decision-making: a unified approach that connects data, logic, and teams across the customer lifecycle. By connecting rather than layering, risk and product teams can build AML systems that are smarter, faster, and more adaptive to modern threats. Read Dustin’s piece via the link in the comments 💡

What an incredible evening with our San Francisco risk community! We took over The Foundry SF for a rich discussion on scaling financial products globally, with insights shared by an expert lineup: Peter Lu (Head of Product at Monzo Bank), Camilla Matias (COO at Brex), and Dustin J. Eaton CFE CAMS CFCI CFCS CAFP CGSS CAMS-RM CAFS (Principal of Fraud & AML at Taktile). Moderated by our own Leya Gibson Budd, these leaders explored what it takes to grow “beyond borders.” From navigating the nuances of international markets to ensuring compliance at scale, the takeaway is clear: global expansion requires tight collaboration among core teams to understand the market, map a sustainable growth trajectory, and mitigate risk in a rapidly developing fraud landscape.
