New podcast: An Interview with Tom van Wees and Roderick de Koning, CCO and CEO of Ginger Payments
Chargebacks are costing merchants billions and most still don’t have a system built to win them back. In this episode of In Check with Fintech, host Rogier Rouppe van der Voort sits down with Roenen Ben-Ami, Co-Founder and Chief Risk Officer at Justt, to unpack the $180B friendly fraud problem, why first-party misuse is rising, and what it takes to recover revenue at scale without compromising customer experience.
Key topics covered:
