About
Fraud and scams are evolving faster than ever - and no single sector can fight them alone.

Join experts from ACI Worldwide, the European Commission, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), and the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) for a forward-thinking conversation on how smarter data sharing, regulatory innovation, and cross-sector collaboration can help outpace today’s most sophisticated fraud threats, including authorized push payment (APP) fraud, phishing scams, and AI-driven identity attacks.

As digital ecosystems grow and fraud tactics become more advanced, the urgency for collective intelligence and shared defenses is clear. This webinar will explore how governments, payment providers, merchants, and other stakeholders can come together to break down silos, align regulatory frameworks, and build a unified response to evolving threats.
