🔐 Tokenization isn't just security, it's intelligence.For Brice van de Walle, Executive Vice President of Core Payments Europe at Mastercard, the future of fraud prevention lies in tokens that are uniquely bound to specific merchants and use cases.No more stolen card data being reused. No more fraudulent transactions across multiple merchants. Just secure, merchant-specific tokens that work where they're meant to, and nowhere else. 🛡️Capture a token from your ride-sharing app? Try using it elsewhere. It won't work. That's the power of tokenization. ✨A smarter approach to payments. A safer experience for everyone. That's what next-gen fraud prevention looks like. 💳Listen to the full podcast now- https://premade.outgrow.us/interview-with-Brice-van-de-Walle?utm_campaign=podcast&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=linkedin#Tokenization #PaymentSecurity #FraudPrevention #Fintech #DigitalPayments #CyberSecurity #PaymentInnovation #SecureCheckout #Mastercard

🌟 Mentorship Means Seeing Potential Before They See It ThemselvesAccording to Kamini Belday, Head of Global Payments, IBM Cloud, true leadership is about lifting others up.Early in her career, Kamini walked into rooms where few people looked like her or talked like her. The finance and tech world was overwhelmingly male-dominated. But leaders saw her potential and nominated her for roles she didn't think she was ready for.They recognized her skills and her ability to lead. That belief accelerated her career in ways she never imagined.Now, as a mentor at Money 20/20's Rise Up and Amplify program, Kamini feels a deep sense of responsibility:✨ To help others see their own potential💪 To advocate for women in male-dominated industries🤝 To create the support system that once changed her trajectory🚀 To prove that representation and advocacy are essential"It's not about making myself known as a mentor. It's about helping others see their potential, like how my mentors saw mine. That's the difference I want to make."When we lift others up, we don't just change careers. We change cultures.Listen to the full podcast now- https://premade.outgrow.us/interview-with-kamini-belday?utm_campaign=podcast&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=linkedin#WomenInTech #Mentorship #Leadership #DiversityInFinance #Money2020 #RiseUpAndAmplify #WomenInFintech #RepresentationMatters #PayItForward
