Verituity Founder and CEO Ben Turner was recently published in Digital Insurance with a byline exploring the vulnerability of insurance disbursements and how firms can better protect them in a digital world. In Insurance Disbursements Are Vulnerable — How to Protect Them, Ben outlines the risks inherent in traditional payout models and offers insights into how modern verification strategies can reduce errors, fraud exposure and operational inefficiencies.

Outdated approaches to identity and account validation leave insurers exposed as they transition to digital disbursements. Ben argues that verification must be reimagined as a continuous, payment-centric discipline rather than a one-time onboarding event. By applying stronger verification at the point of payout, including real-time checks of payer identity, payee validation, account status and payment-file accuracy, insurers can make payouts more secure and predictable.

Ben also discusses the broader implications of digital payout risk for carrier operations, including how verification gaps can undermine customer trust, inflate remediation costs and create compliance vulnerabilities. He emphasizes that a robust payout strategy must align with broader enterprise risk frameworks and support outcome certainty without compromising customer experience.

Verituity CEO Ben Turner was recently published in American Banker with an article examining the growing urgency around payments fraud and the need for regulators to rethink how verification is approached in a real-time payments environment.

In Regulators need to lead a rethink of how we deal with payments fraud, Ben responds to the Federal Reserve, FDIC and OCC’s recent request for information on fraud mitigation, noting that fraud-related suspicious activity reports continue to climb and that check fraud has surged dramatically since the pandemic. While international initiatives such as Verification of Payee (VoP) and Confirmation of Payee (CoP) represent meaningful progress, Ben argues that static, one-time verification models are no longer sufficient in today’s digital payments ecosystem.

The article outlines why traditional verification checkpoints fail to account for evolving fraud tactics such as social engineering, synthetic identity fraud and account takeovers. Ben calls for a more dynamic, intelligence-driven approach — one that treats each transaction as its own verification event and incorporates behavioral, contextual and device-level signals to better detect risk.

As regulators consider next steps, the piece underscores a broader theme: payments are only as secure as the systems that verify them. Modernizing verification infrastructure will be essential not only for compliance, but for meaningfully reducing fraud in a rapidly changing financial landscape.
