Banking on Fraudology is now Fraud Forward!

In this first episode, Hailey brings together fraud, risk, and BSA leaders to ground bold 2026 predictions in what financial institutions actually experienced over the past year. No hype. No fear-mongering. Just honest insights from teams dealing with fraud at machine speed. We break down what we’re already seeing on the front lines, what’s accelerating into 2026, and where banks and credit unions remain most exposed, from digital arrest scams and Ghost Tap fraud to self-adapting AI attacks and the return of in-branch controls.

Listen in for realistic guidance on what to plan for and prioritize, and what needs to change now as fraud keeps moving faster.
