The accessibility of a digital identity solution is vital to widespread customer adoption. Unresolved system biases could mean some demographics are inconvenienced or worse, excluded from access altogether. How do we ensure all customers have a seamless experience? How do we design and build accessibility in right from the start? What about those customers who require additional assistance?

11:40 - 12:20 - Panel: Accelerating the future of customer experience

12:20 - 12:40 - Fireside chat: The unfriendly face of ‘friendly fraud’

Businesses are incurring significant costs from chargebacks, returns fraud and bonus abuse schemes. Often customer data resides in siloes making it easy for such ‘friendly fraudto slip through the net. By linking customer profiles to digital identities can businesses get ahead of suspicious activity? How can businesses effectively mitigate misuse without alienating genuine customers and negatively impacting their product offering?

Welcome back to Future Identity Customer. Find out what to expect from the afternoon ahead.

1:45 - 2:05 - Presentation: A spotlight on insider fraud in the Financial Services sector

The impact of fraud on customers and businesses is widely discussed but often overlooked is the impact of insider fraud. How have the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and an increase in remote working contributed to a rise in financial fraud and data theft originating from inside a business? How can financial institutions better understand and work to tackle this ever-present threat? 

  • Claire Maillet, PhD Researcher, Insider Fraud, University of Portsmouth

2:05 - 2:30 - Fireside Chat: The employee as a customer

How are businesses securing identity and access management for employees whilst enabling smooth onboarding and login experiences. What are the risks businesses are faced with and how do innovation, education and culture all play a role in evaluating and defending against new threats? How can seamless employee identity improve efficiency and lower costs, resulting in better outcomes for both businesses and end customers?

2:30 - 3:10 - Panel: Data is knowledge, knowledge is power

Customers are required to verify identity time and again leaving behind a trail of vulnerable data. Can we shift away from a siloed approach and allow businesses to leverage data sharing to get a more complete picture of customer behaviour? How can data-driven intelligence and AI-powered approaches help to detect fraud in real-time and minimise the delay genuine customers face in accessing products and services? What does it take to ensure data privacy and consent are protected?

As mobile quickly becomes the primary channel for customers to engage with finance, retail, social media and many more services, secure mobile identity is a priority. How can the features built into mobile devices be leveraged for faster and stronger verification? How do businesses overcome the kinds of user friction resulting from OTPs and 2FA? Will mobile ID wallets allow users to securely store smart, reusable credentials, for convenient proof of identity?
