AI Powered Fraud Trends Financial Institutions Need to Understand in 2026
ThreatMark has been featured in a new Thomson Reuters article examining five key fraud trends financial institutions need to understand in 2026. In the piece, ThreatMark CEO Michal Tresner explains how AI has fundamentally changed the economics of fraud.

Tresner highlights why legacy, point in time checks are no longer enough. When fraud hides inside normal looking behaviour, identity and device signals alone fall short. What matters is how users behave in real time.
The article points to behavioural intelligence and cross institution collaboration as critical next steps for banks looking to detect scams earlier, reduce losses, and protect customers without adding friction.
