𧡠Travel has some of the highest chargeback rates of any industry. But most of those disputes don't come from fraud.
They come from confusion.

3/ @Visa's VAMP is already live. @Mastercard's SMMP is coming.
Both are pushing travel merchants toward the same thing: proactive transparency rather than reactive dispute handling.
Clear fare rules. Better refund communication. Robust audit trails from booking to check-in. Every stage of the customer journey now needs to meet a higher standard.

4/ The single biggest blind spot for travel merchants?
Proactive customer communication. It's still the strongest lever for preventing disputes before they ever reach the bank βΆοΈ and it's consistently where merchants under-invest.

Only 18% of regulators are scaling AI, while 40% of supervised firms already are. FinregE's new framework for regulators makes a clear argument: close that gap with structured regulatory infrastructure first, general-purpose AI tools second, or don't close it at all.

π§΅AI is already automating large parts of financial crime operations. The next question is harder: should it be making the decisions too?

3/ Nearly 50% of financial regulators globally have no national AI strategy in place. Those that do offer broad guidelines, not specific ones, for financial services.
79% of surveyed stakeholders say clarifying AI guidance is regulators' top priority.
Institutions deploying AI for financial crime decisions are, in many markets, operating ahead of the rulebook.

4/ One warning worth heeding before any AI decisioning rollout:
Don't automate a broken process. If your financial crime workflows haven't been reviewed in years, AI will just make the errors faster and harder to spot.
