Financial institutions are prioritizing data sharing as their primary weapon against rising fraud threats, according to findings revealed at EBAday 2026, the annual payments and transaction banking summit. A striking 78% of surveyed executives identified collaborative data sharing as the most effective method for strengthening fraud risk mitigation strategies.
The afternoon sessions at the summit concentrated on practical fraud management tactics and emerging payments technology developments, bringing together senior decision-makers from across the banking and payments sector. The overwhelming consensus signals a major shift toward collaborative defense mechanisms as traditional siloed approaches prove insufficient against increasingly sophisticated fraud operations.
This data-driven approach reflects growing industry recognition that financial criminals exploit information gaps between institutions. By sharing threat intelligence and suspicious activity patterns, banks and payment providers can identify and block fraudulent transactions more effectively across networks.
