As our population ages, financial safety has become one of the most pressing issues in banking and fintech because seniors are one of the groups most vulnerable to scammers.
In this episode, host Ben Jackson sits down with Todd Rovak, Co-founder and CEO of Carefull, a financial safety platform used by banks to protect older adults and their families from scams, fraud, and costly mistakes.
They cover how Carefull uses AI and behavioral data to detect concerning patterns in financial activity—sometimes even spotting early signs of cognitive decline years before a medical diagnosis.
They also discuss:
Why financial institutions should take aging financial risk seriously
The critical role of trusted contacts and family engagement
How technology can enable independence rather than take it away
