Payments Fraud Virtual Summit
This virtual summit brings together AP and finance leaders, banks, and technology experts for a candid, educational discussion on how payment fraud happens, and what works to stop it.
Payment fraud is a daily operational reality for accounts payable and finance teams.
As fraud schemes grow more sophisticated and digital payment volumes grow, AP and finance leaders are being asked to stop fraud without slowing down the organization. At the same time, new NACHA rules are raising expectations around bank account validation and payment controls, making “good enough” processes no longer acceptable.
Join us for a candid, educational discussion on how payment fraud happens, and what works to stop it.
Who Should Attend?
- Accounts payable leaders and managers
- Finance and shared services leaders
- Treasury and payment operations professionals
- Risk, compliance, and internal audit teams

Trust No Account: Closing the Gaps with Adaptive Global Account
Fraudsters don’t care about borders, so why should your validation tools? While many organizations rely on a US domestic repository for bank account verification, these systems often leave a “blind spot” when dealing with international payments or thin-file vendors.
Join nsKnox for a deep dive into Adaptive Payment Security – a technology-driven approach that supercharges your existing workflows with VI. We will explore how to bridge the gap between domestic data and global intelligence, providing the ability to verify any account, anywhere, without the friction of manual callbacks, all within your VI portal.
In this session, you will learn how to:
• Enrich and Extend: Complement your domestic validation data with global intelligence to eliminate “un-verifiable” accounts.
• Scale through Adaptation: Automate complex validations using a risk-based approach that adapts to the vendor’s location and banking environment.
• Stay Ahead of the Threat: Review recent, real-world fraud cases to see how sophisticated AI-based social engineering attacks bypass standard controls and how to stop them.

How AI protects Source to Pay from Fraud and Risk
Fraud is no longer something organizations can afford to address after the fact. AI helps teams stay ahead by continuously monitoring Source‑to‑Pay activity and flagging things that don’t look right before they turn into real issues. By understanding what “normal” looks like across suppliers, invoices, approvals, and payments, AI can catch subtle anomalies that traditional rules often miss. At the same time, it strengthens governance by consistently applying controls, capturing clear decision trails, and making audits far less painful, building confidence that risk is being managed proactively, not just uncovered later.

Redesigning Payments for a Fraud-First World
Legacy payment methods were never designed to stop modern fraud. As B2B payment attacks grow more sophisticated, AP and AR teams are on the front lines of an escalating threat. Fraudsters are evolving faster than traditional controls, exploiting vendor workflows and payment processes to redirect funds. This session explores how finance leaders can shift from reactive defense to proactive control, leveraging virtual cards to eliminate vulnerable payment methods, introduce transaction-level security, and dramatically reduce fraud exposure.
