The Fraud Solution Opportunity Waiting on IBM Z

IBM has spent years building the ability to run AI inside one of the world's most important transaction-processing environments. Telum and Telum II put model inference close to the applications and data on which consequential financial decisions depend. That is a substantial engineering achievement, but it is not yet the full commercial opportunity. The runtime makes it possible to execute models in the transaction path. The greater prize is the fraud solution built around it, the models, behavioral features, decision logic and workflows that let institutions prevent more fraud rather than merely run more inference.

Why I Built a Highly Targeted Fraud Vector Detection Capability on IBM Z

Most institutions do not have a fraud platform problem. They have specific fraud vectors that continue to generate losses despite years of investment in fraud technology. This article explains why I chose to focus on a single fraud vector rather than build another broad fraud platform.

Why Pix Made AI Fraud Prevention an Infrastructure Requirement

Brazil built the world's most advanced instant payments infrastructure. In doing so, it created the world's most advanced bank fraud problem. Pix processed 63.4 billion transactions in 2024 on an irrevocable settlement rail — a fraud surface that no rule-based system can adequately cover, and a financial inclusion opportunity that no traditional credit model can serve.

A Fraud Use Case That Fails to Identify a Single Fraud Vector Is Not a Use Case

Fraud detection is not a use case. It is an umbrella term. The vector is closer, but still not sufficient. The use case emerges only when a vector is mapped to a specific business decision, and that is where most fraud AI initiatives stop short.
