    위브모, 금융범죄 대응 지원 위한 AI 어시스턴트 ‘ARIA’ 출시

    팀 통제 아래 구현되는 ‘에이전틱 리스크 인텔리전스‘ 제공

    은행·금융기관의 사기ㆍ자금세탁방지(AML)ㆍ고객확인(KYC)ㆍ분쟁 처리 업무 혁신 지원

    뭄바이, 인도 – NewsVoir – 2026년 6월 22 – 페이유(PayU) 산하 결제 보안 솔루션 전문기업인 위브모(Wibmo)가 인도 뭄바이의 ‘지오 월드 컨벤션 센터(Jio World Convention Centre)’에서 열린 ‘디지털 결제 보안: 이노베이션, 인텔리전스, 트러스트(Securing Digital Payments: Innovation, Intelligence & Trust)’에 참가해 금융범죄 대응 혁신을 지원하는 AI 기반 플랫폼 ‘위브모 에이전틱 리스크 인텔리전스 어시스턴트(Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant, ARIA)를 선보였다.

    위브모가 뭄바이에서 공개한 ARIA는 사기ㆍ자금세탁방지ㆍ고객확인ㆍ분쟁 처리 업무에 AI 역량을 제공한다
    위브모가 뭄바이에서 공개한 ARIA는 사기ㆍ자금세탁방지ㆍ고객확인ㆍ분쟁 처리 업무에 AI 역량을 제공한다

    ARIA는 은행 및 결제서비스제공업체(PSP)의 리스크 운영팀을 지원하기 위해 설계된 플랫폼으로, AI 기반 분석 기능과 인간의 의사결정 및 책임 체계를 결합한 것이 특징이다. 디지털 결제 사기가 고도화되고 결제 생태계가 확대되면서 금융기관들은 강력한 거버넌스와 감독 체계를 유지하는 동시에 리스크 관리의 효율성을 높여야 하는 과제에 직면해 있다. ARIA는 이러한 요구에 대응해 금융 범죄 대응 업무에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

    초기 분석에 따르면 ARIA는 실시간으로 작동하는 AI 에이전트를 통해 조사 시간을 70% 이상 단축할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 담당 인력(FTE) 1인당 하루 처리 가능한 사례 수를 크게 늘릴 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 또한 ARIA는 약 90% 수준의 추천 정확도를 목표로 하며, 리스크 운영 조직 전반의 품질 지표 향상에 기여하도록 설계됐다.

    ARIA는 금융기관의 리스크 운영 방식에 근본적인 변화를 제시한다. 전문화된 AI 에이전트가 데이터 수집, 분석 및 권고안 초안 작성 업무를 지원하는 동시에, 모든 핵심 의사결정 단계에서는 인간이 최종 권한과 통제권을 유지하도록 설계됐다.

    ARIA는 조사(Investigation), 의사결정 지원(Decision Support), 운영 실행(Operation Actioning) 기능을 통합 제공한다. 거래 데이터, 리스크 모델, 고객 및 가맹점 이력, 연계 거래 정보, 과거 사기 패턴 등 다양한 신호를 수집해 기존에 상당한 분석 인력이 필요했던 데이터 집계 과정을 자동화한다.

    또한 최첨단 AI 모델을 활용해 근거 기반의 분석 결과를 제시하고, 다중 신호(Multi-signal) 분석을 통해 새로운 패턴을 식별하며, 투명하고 감사 가능한 권고안을 제공한다. 이와 함께 표준운영절차(SOP)에 기반한 문제 해결, 고객 및 가맹점 커뮤니케이션, 오탐(False Alert) 감소, 새로운 이상 거래 패턴에 대한 선제적 대응 기능도 지원한다.

    샤일레시 폴(Shailesh Paul) 위브모 최고경영자(CEO)는 “사기 수법이 더욱 정교해지고 규제 요구사항도 지속적으로 변화함에 따라 리스크 운영팀은 제한된 자원으로 점점 더 복잡한 과제를 관리해야 한다”며 “ARIA는 AI의 속도와 분석 역량을 인간 전문가의 판단, 감독 및 책임성과 결합해 금융기관이 보다 지능적으로 업무 처리 역량을 확대할 수 있도록 지원하기 위해 개발됐다”고 설명했다. 이어 “AI 에이전트가 데이터 분석과 권고안을 지원하더라도 모든 핵심 의사결정은 여전히 인간의 통제 아래 이뤄진다”고 덧붙였다.

    완전 자율형 AI와 달리 위브모의 에이전틱 리스크 인텔리전스 어시스턴트는 금융기관 환경에 맞춘 거버넌스 중심 아키텍처를 기반으로 설계됐다. 모든 권고 사항은 기존 승인 절차를 거치며, AI가 독자적으로 업무를 수행하지 않는다. 또한 모든 분석 과정은 투명한 추론 체계와 감사 기록으로 뒷받침된다. 이 플랫폼은 사기 방지, 자금세탁방지(AML), 고객확인(KYC), 분쟁 처리 분야별 전문 AI 에이전트를 하나의 프레임워크로 통합했으며, 각 에이전트의 모든 활동에 대해 재현 가능한 감사 기록과 운영 이력을 제공한다.

    이번 행사에는 은행, 핀테크 기업, 결제 네트워크, 기술 기업의 고위 임원 50여 명이 참석해 디지털 결제 보안의 최신 과제와 AI 기반 사기 방지의 미래를 논의했다. 행사에는 페이유, NPCI 바라트 빌페이(NPCI Bharat Billpay), 비자(Visa), 마스터카드(Mastercard), 플립카트(Flipkart), CSB뱅크(CSB Bank), 지오 페이먼트 솔루션(Jio Payment Solutions), 네트워크 인터내셔널(Network International) 관계자들이 참여해 가맹점 결제 사기 리스크 관리, 인증 기술, 리스크 기반 의사결정 등을 주제로 논의를 나눴다.

  • Wibmo Unveils Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant – an AI Assistant for Financial Crime Operations

    Wibmo Unveils Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant – an AI Assistant for Financial Crime Operations

    Platform delivers “Agentic Risk Intelligence Under Your Team’s Command” – transforming fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operations for financial institutions

    MUMBAI, INDIA – NewsVoir – 22 June 2026 – Wibmo, a PayU company and leading provider of payment security solutions, unveiled Wibmo Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant (ARIA), an AI-powered platform designed to transform financial crime operations, at its flagship industry event ‘Securing Digital Payments: Innovation, Intelligence & Trust’ held at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

    Unveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operations.
    Unveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo’s Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operations.

    ARIA is designed to support risk teams at banks and PSPs, combining AI-driven analysis with human decision-making and accountability. This is highly relevant now, as digital payment fraud challenges becoming increasingly complex. With the sustained growth in the payments ecosystem, financial institutions are focused on improving operational risk efficiency while maintaining strong governance and oversight.

    Early modelling shows ARIA achieving over 70% reduction in investigation time through agents acting in real-time, enabling teams to process significantly more cases per FTE per day. ARIA targets delivering recommendation accuracy close to 90%, designed to improve quality metrics across risk operations teams.

    ARIA represents a fundamental shift in how financial institutions approach risk operations by introducing specialized AI agents that support data aggregation, analysis, and draft recommendations, while preserving human decision-making authority and governance controls at every critical juncture.

    ARIA combines capabilities across investigation, decision support, and operational actioning. The platform gathers signals from transactions, risk models, customer and merchant history, linked transactions, and historical fraud patterns to automate data aggregation that typically consumes significant analyst bandwidth. Using frontier AI models, ARIA generates evidence-referenced verdicts, identifies emerging patterns through multi-signal reasoning, and provides transparent, auditable recommendations. The platform also enables SOP-driven resolutions, customer and merchant communications, reduction of false alerts, and proactive defence mechanisms against emerging anomalies.

    Shailesh Paul, CEO, Wibmo, said,“As fraud becomes more sophisticated and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, risk operations teams must manage growing complexity with limited resources. ARIA is designed to help institutions scale intelligently by combining the speed and analytical capabilities of AI with the judgment, oversight, and accountability of human expertise. While AI agents assist with data analysis and recommendations, every critical decision continues to remain firmly under human control.”

    Unlike fully autonomous AI systems, Wibmo’s Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant is built with a governance-first architecture designed for enterprise financial institutions. Every recommendation continues to flow through existing approval mechanisms without autonomous production actions, while all analyses are supported by transparent reasoning chains and comprehensive audit trails. The platform brings together specialized agents across fraud, AML, KYC, and disputes within a unified framework, alongside replayable audits and complete operational provenance for every agent action.

    The launch event brought together more than 50 senior leaders from banks, fintechs, payment networks, and technology organizations to discuss evolving challenges in digital payment security and the future of AI-led fraud prevention. Speakers from PayU, NPCI Bharat Billpay, Visa, Mastercard, Flipkart, CSB Bank, Jio Payment Solutions, and Network International participated in discussions around acquiring fraud risk management, authentication technologies, and risk-based decisioning.

    Wibmo、金融犯罪対策のためのAIアシスタント、「Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant」を発表

    「エージェント型のリスクインテリジェンスを思いのままに動かす」ことが可能なプラットフォームにより、金融機関における不正対策、AML、KYC、異議申し立て対応を変革

    インド・ムンバイ – NewsVoir – 2026年6月22日 – PayU傘下企業で決済セキュリティソリューションを提供する主力企業のWibmoは、ムンバイの国際会議場Jio World Convention Centreで開催した旗艦業界イベント「Securing Digital Payments: Innovation, Intelligence & Trust(デジタル決済の保護:イノベーション、インテリジェンス、信頼性)」において、金融犯罪対策を大きく変革するAI搭載プラットフォーム「Wibmo Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant(ARIA)」を発表しました。

    ARIAをムンバイで発表:不正対策、AML、KYC、異議申し立て対応をAIで支援する、WibmoのAgentic Risk Intelligence Assistant
    ARIAをムンバイで発表:不正対策、AML、KYC、異議申し立て対応をAIで支援する、WibmoのAgentic Risk Intelligence Assistant

    ARIAはAIによる分析を人による意思決定や説明責任と組み合わせ、銀行や決済サービスプロバイダー(PSP)のリスク部門を支援します。デジタル決済における不正がますます複雑な課題となる中、これは非常に重要なポイントです。決済エコシステムの継続的な成長に伴い、金融機関は強固なガバナンスや監督体制を維持しながら、オペレーショナルリスク管理を効率化することに注力しています。

    初期段階のモデリングによると、ARIAはリアルタイムに動作するエージェントにより、調査時間を70%以上削減し、担当者1人当たり(FTE)の1日の処理件数を大幅に伸ばせることが示されています。ARIAは90%近いレコメンデーション精度の実現を目指しており、リスクオペレーションチーム全体の品質指標を向上できるよう設計されています。

    ARIAは、データの集約、分析、レコメンデーション作成を支援する専門AIエージェントを導入しつつ、あらゆる重要な局面において人による意思決定権限やガバナンス管理を確保することで、金融機関におけるリスクオペレーションへのアプローチを根本から刷新します。

    ARIAは、調査、意思決定支援、業務遂行の機能を広く統合しています。このプラットフォームは取引、リスクモデル、顧客履歴や加盟店履歴、関連する取引、過去の不正パターンから信号を収集し、従来アナリストの作業時間の多くを占めていたデータ集約業務を自動化します。ARIAは最新のAIモデルを活用して、根拠を参照した判定を生成し、複数のシグナルを元にした推論から新たなパターンを特定し、透明性が高く監査可能なレコメンデーションを提供します。また、このプラットフォームは標準業務手順(SOP)に沿った対応、顧客や加盟店とのコミュニケーション、誤検知の抑制、新たな異常に対する積極的な防御機構を実現します。

    Wibmoの最高経営責任者(CEO)であるShailesh Paulは次のように述べています。「不正の手口が巧妙化し、規制要件が変化し続ける中、リスクオペレーションチームはますます複雑化する状況に、限られたリソースで対応しなければなりません。ARIAは、AIの高い処理速度や分析力を、人間の専門性に基づく判断力、監督体制、説明責任と組み合わせることで、金融機関がインテリジェントに事業を拡大できるよう設計されています。データ分析やレコメンデーションをAIエージェントに支援してもらいながら、重要な判断はこれまでどおり人間がしっかりと管理していくことが可能です。」

    WibmoのAgentic Risk Intelligence Assistant(ARIA)は、完全自律型のAIシステムと異なり、大手金融機関向けに設計された、ガバナンスを中核とするアーキテクチャにより構築されています。レコメンデーションはすべて、これまでどおり、既存の承認プロセスを経て処理され、本番環境で自律的にアクションが実行されないようになっており、分析はすべて透明な推論チェーンと包括的な監査証跡により裏付けられます。このプラットフォームは、不正対策、アンチマネーロンダリング(AML)、顧客確認(KYC)、異議申立て対応に特化したAIエージェントを単一のフレームワークに統合し、各エージェントのすべての行動について、再現可能な監査機能と、業務の完全な来歴情報(プロビナンス)を提供します。

    発表イベントには、銀行、フィンテック企業、決済ネットワーク事業者、テクノロジー組織から50名を超える幹部が結集し、デジタル決済セキュリティにおける変化する課題や、AIを活用した不正防止の未来について議論が行われました。PayU、NPCI Bharat Billpay、Visa、Mastercard、Flipkart、CSB Bank、Jio Payment Solutions、Network Internationalの講演者が登壇し、アクワイアリング業務における不正リスクの管理、認証技術、リスクに基づく意思決定に関する議論を行いました。

    Wibmo推出”代理式风险智能助手”——一款面向反金融犯罪业务的人工智能助手

    该平台提供“由您的团队掌控的代理式风险智能”,将彻底改变金融机构的反欺诈、反洗钱、客户尽职调查(KYC)及争议处理业务

    印度孟买 – NewsVoir – 2026年6月22日 – 作为PayU旗下公司及领先的支付安全解决方案提供商,Wibmo在其于孟买Jio World会议中心举办的旗舰行业盛会”保障数字支付安全:创新、智能与信任”上,正式发布了“Wibmo代理式风险智能助手”(ARIA)。该平台由人工智能驱动,旨在革新反金融犯罪业务。

    在孟买发布ARIA:Wibmo的"代理式风险智能助手"将人工智能的力量应用于反欺诈、反洗钱、客户尽职调查及争议处理业务。
    在孟买发布ARIA:Wibmo的”代理式风险智能助手”将人工智能的力量应用于反欺诈、反洗钱、客户尽职调查及争议处理业务。

    ARIA旨在支持银行和支付服务提供商(PSP)的风险团队,将人工智能驱动的分析与人类决策及问责机制相结合。鉴于数字支付欺诈挑战日益复杂,这一举措具有极高的现实意义。随着支付生态系统的持续增长,金融机构正致力于提高运营风险管理的效率,同时保持强有力的治理和监督。

    早期建模数据显示,ARIA通过智能体的实时介入,将调查时间缩短了70%以上,使团队的每位全职员工每天处理的案件显著增多。ARIA的目标是将建议准确率提升至接近90%,旨在改善各风险运营团队的质量指标。

    ARIA通过引入专门的人工智能体,支持数据聚合、分析和建议草拟,同时在每个关键节点保留人工决策权和治理控制,从而彻底改变了金融机构处理风险运营的方式。

    ARIA整合了调查、决策支持和运营执行方面的能力。该平台从交易数据、风险模型、客户及商户历史记录、相关联的交易以及历史欺诈模式中收集信号,从而实现数据聚合的自动化——这一过程通常会占用分析师大量工作时间。借助前沿的人工智能模型,ARIA可生成列出证据的裁决结果,通过多信号推理识别新兴模式,并提供透明且可审计的建议。该平台还支持基于标准操作流程的解决方案、客户及商户沟通、减少误报,并针对新兴异常情况提供主动防御机制。

    Wibmo首席执行官Shailesh Paul表示:“随着欺诈手段日益复杂,监管要求也不断演变,风险运营团队必须在资源有限的情况下应对日益增长的复杂性。ARIA旨在通过将人工智能的速度与分析能力,与人类专业知识所具备的判断力、监督能力及问责机制相结合,帮助金融机构实现智能规模化发展。虽然人工智能体会协助进行数据分析和提供建议,但每一项关键决策仍始终牢牢掌握在人类手中。

    与完全自主的人工智能系统不同,”Wibmo代理式风险智能助手“采用专为企业级金融机构设计的”治理优先”架构。每项建议仍需通过现有的审批机制,不会自动执行操作;同时,所有分析均由透明的推理链和全面的审计追踪记录提供支持。该平台将反欺诈、反洗钱、客户尽职调查及争议处理等领域的专业智能体整合到统一框架中,并为每个智能体的操作提供可回放的审计记录和完整的操作溯源。

    此次发布会汇聚了来自银行、金融科技公司、支付网络及科技机构的50余位高管,共同探讨数字支付安全领域不断演变的挑战以及人工智能驱动的欺诈防范的未来。来自PayU、NPCI Bharat Billpay、Visa、万事达卡、Flipkart、CSB银行、Jio Payment Solutions和Network International的演讲嘉宾参与了关于收单欺诈风险管理、身份验证技术以及基于风险的决策等议题的讨论。

  • Successful debut of International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services in Hong Kong

    Successful debut of International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services in Hong Kong

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 June 2026 – Hong Kong’s Government Flying Service (GFS) held its inaugural three-day International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services (ISERAS) (June 16-18), bringing together more than 230 policymakers, experts and academics, and industry representatives from over 70 institutions and accredited organisations.

    With participants from places including Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Austria, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, the event aimed to foster closer co-operation in emergency linkage, resource sharing, and professional training among different regions.

    The inaugural International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services was held in Hong Kong from June 16 to 18.

    The symposium featured a series of plenary sessions, panel discussions, technical visits, and live demonstrations jointly conducted by the GFS and various government emergency units. A number of memoranda of understanding were signed during the event, to deepen collaboration between the GFS and the Chinese Mainland as well as domestic and international emergency, aviation, and medical institutions.

    Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Under Secretary for Security, Michael Cheuk, said that the challenges of emergency response as a result of the realities of climate change are evolving at an unprecedented pace.

    “A shift to proactive prevention, continuous enhancement of international and cross-regional collaboration, and enhanced experience and insight sharing among stakeholders are key to rising to new and complex challenges,” Mr Cheuk said, adding that the collaborative spirit of ISERAS will forge stronger partnerships, further strengthen emergency response capabilities, and secure a safer future for communities.

    The Director General of the Rescue and Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China (CRS), Wang Lei, also attended the symposium and delivered a keynote presentation on air rescue capabilities and strategic development in the South China Sea.

    The symposium concluded with an interdepartmental counter-terrorism drill and exchange session, with the participation of the GFS, the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, showcasing Hong Kong’s professional capabilities in responding to terrorist attacks.

    The Controller of the GFS, Captain Eddie Liu, said that the GFS has always played an important role in emergency response and rescue. “In addition to assisting in search and rescue, providing air ambulance and other emergency aeromedical services, the GFS also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining internal security of the HKSAR,” he said.

    “In emergencies such as terrorist attacks, the GFS would make rapid deployment to assist the disciplined services in conducting air assault, offering all-round support to the HKSAR Government’s overall counter-terrorism efforts.”

    Since its establishment in 1993, the GFS has served at the forefront of round-the-clock search-and-rescue and emergency aeromedical operations, while the ISERAS aims to collectively build a truly transnational pool of professional expertise, thereby underscoring Hong Kong’s status as an aviation hub for emergency response in Asia.

Collected bottles will be transported to New Life Plastics, Hong Kong’s largest food-grade-ready plastic bottle recycling facility. The recyclables will be processed into recycled PET (rPET) materials and reintroduced into the supply chain to create new bottles. This “bottle-to-bottle” initiative highlights a successful circular economy model by giving recycled plastic a second life, making environmental stewardship a core part of the event experience.

    As the “2026 Sun Life Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Festival” unfolds, Swire Coca-Cola HK is excited to celebrate this summer spectacular with the locals and tourists. Through refreshing drinks, interactive fun, and recycling actions, the brand hopes to create lasting memories for all.

    In Hong Kong, ZEEKR has maintained strong momentum. From January to May 2026, ZEEKR captured a 40.7% market share of Hong Kong’s luxury vehicle segment, ranking first among all luxury automotive brands. The ZEEKR 009 ranked as Hong Kong’s best-selling luxury MPV, while the ZEEKR 7X became the city’s best-selling luxury SUV.

Four integrated safety structures combined with extensive use of 2,000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel contribute to a torsional rigidity rating of 41,600 N·m/deg, setting a new benchmark for safety in the hybrid SUV segment. The ZEEKR 9X recently opened pre-sales in the Middle East, where it has received strong market interest. The model is scheduled to expand into key markets across Latin America, Central Asia and Europe.
