Elavon Europe

What an incredible way to kick off the Preferred Hotels & Resorts 2026 conference at the stunning Kiawah Island Golf Resort . Big thanks to Chris Ahlgrim, Matt Brendle, & Jay Kitashima for a challenging but fun round! 🐊 Great way for Elavon Europe & Elavon to break the ice before the conference. #ThePreferredLife #ProudlyPreferred #Hospitality #Payments

Kudos to our Marketing Gurus here at Elavon Europe for this ad. Looks great! I’ll be on the stand at the Retail Technology Show this week (22-23 Apr). So any hotel, pub or restaurant chains that would like to chat about improved payments for the hospitality industry, please do drop by (stand number S38). DM me first if you’d like to align calendars.

Payment performance today is defined by how well security and optimisation work together. UK Finance reports £1.17bn was lost to fraud in the UK in a single year. But industry research consistently shows retailers losing well over twice that globally to false declines, legitimate customers blocked by overly blunt controls. That’s why optimisation and precision matter just as much as prevention. Retailers today are balancing tougher fraud threats, tighter regulation, and customer expectations that leave no tolerance for friction. Payment optimisation is no longer a trade‑off against fraud prevention, but a discipline that uses data to protect customers and revenue at the same time. Event: Retail Technology Show 2026 When: 22–23 April Where: Stand S38 at ExCeL London I’ll be at the stand alongside Dave Slatter , Jamie Elliott , Chris Challoner , Gavin Nullatamby , Leon Hewitt , Sajid Hussain Din and Jas Mann , all of whom bring brilliant, practical perspectives on retail payments, fraud and optimisation. If you’re thinking about payment optimisation, security, or reducing friction without increasing risk, come say hello on Stand S38.

The Fastest‑Growing Fraud Type in the World Is Hiding in Plain Sight Not the one attacking your systems but the one already inside your customer’s browser. We’ve spent years strengthening the backend with rules, models and orchestration. But fraud has moved upstream into the session, into the browser, into the moment where identity, loyalty, and payment data collide. That’s where Account Takeover and synthetic identity fraud are quietly scaling, blending into what looks like perfectly normal behaviour. Together, they now account for a significant share of global fraud losses with ATO alone costing merchants $38B in a single year, and synthetic identities growing 8× YoY toward a $58B industry impact. This is why the conversation at MRC | Merchant Risk Council London matters. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ’ story isn’t just about detecting fraud. It’s about designing trust into the digital experience without adding friction or slowing performance. Client‑side risk is no longer a blind spot, it’s a major attack surface. Come and join us for an interesting discussion around stopping the invisible imposter and how to start protecting the frontline of the digital experience. Panel: April 14, 2026 between 16:45-17:30 Location: MRC London - Arora 6/3, InterContinental London – The O2 Speakers: John Elliott ( Jscrambler ), Candice Pressinger ( Elavon Europe / U.S. Bank ), Bas van Sambeek (KLM) #FraudPrevention #ATO #SyntheticIdentity #ClientSideSecurity #DigitalTrust #Payments #MRC #Optimisation
