Birch is much more than someone banks turn to in need: he’s an author, advisor and regular commentator in the fintech industry. When he’s not running Consult Hyperion, a consultancy business he founded in 1986, he can be found speaking at industry events or moderating panel talks with fintech power players.

In this podcast we discuss the impact of fraud for retailers and e-commerce, how to stay ahead of emerging trends and using machine learning to predict transactional fraud.
