Key Quotes:
“Everything that tends to make our life more secure tends to also have a higher friction. And everything that has more friction tends to make our life less secure. So you definitely want to find the right balance here.”
“The first mistake that I see is having teams that are too siloed, meaning that the onboarding team or the UX team working on the onboarding of their service or platform or product are too siloed from their fraud and risk team.”
“We always think about friction as something negative. There is also a positive aspect to friction.”
