Created and produced by Alex Johnson, Fintech Takes reaches 70k fintech professionals through a twice-weekly newsletter and podcast that ask the big questions about where money is headed. Fintech Takes brings genuine curiosity (not hot takes) to an audience that wants to understand not just what's happening in the industry, but why it matters. This event brings that same spirit off the page: a chance for the fintech and finance community to connect in person.

You're invited! Join us for breakfast on October 19 at Money20/20 Join Oscilar and Mastercard for breakfast and a candid conversation on fraud, identity, and the rise of agentic risk. Date & Time: Monday, October 19 | 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM PT Location: Canaletto Ristorante Veneto in St. Mark's Square inside The Venetian Resort What to Expect: Full breakfast served Live panel discussion with Q&A Networking with peers in fraud, risk, and identity Fraud isn't just evolving. It's mobilizing. As scams grow more coordinated and AI agents begin acting on behalf of both consumers and criminals, the old playbook for fraud and identity risk no longer holds. Start your Money20/20 morning with breakfast and a panel discussion featuring voices from a leading risk organization, a global payments network, and a top advisory firm. Together, they'll unpack two connected shifts reshaping the industry: the changing shape of fraud itself, and the rise of agentic identity as a new frontier of risk. Come for the conversation, stay for the coffee. Panel: From Scams to Synthetic Agents: Rethinking Fraud in the Age of AI Expect a candid look at how fraud teams are organizing internally, where tools and technology are actually moving the needle on trust, security, and convenience, and what "identity" means when the actor on the other end might not be human. RSVP now, seats are limited.

Kanpai! Join us for a round of sake and some great conversations with friends and founders at Money20/20. Held at WAKUDA, we'll have delicious sushi bites and cold drinks for a much needed mid-afternoon break at the Palazzo. Hope to see you there!
