"BioCatch will help our clients stop fraud before it reaches the point of payment," said Andrew Torre, president of value-added services at Visa. "This acquisition is part of our strategy to help clients prevent cyber threats upstream, building trust into every transaction."
The company stated that account takeovers and scams cost the global economy over $1 trillion annually. BioCatch’s solutions are designed to detect account takeovers, scams, money mules, and application fraud.
Gadi Mazor, CEO of BioCatch, said the company has demonstrated behavior’s ability to distinguish criminals from legitimate users for more than a decade.
Visa stated it has invested more than $13 billion in technology and infrastructure over the last five years to safeguard the payments ecosystem.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Visa expects the transaction to close by the end of its fiscal second quarter of 2027.
