What changed
The ABA Banking Journal Podcast published a crossover episode with the ABA Fraudcast on April 22, 2026, featuring ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols and ABA EVP Paul Benda. The episode discusses ABA's multi-pronged ecosystem strategy to reduce fraud incidence and cost for bank customers, including participation in the UN/Interpol Global Fraud Summit, the growing bipartisan SCAM Act coalition, collaboration with the International Banking Federation to adapt global anti-fraud best practices for U.S. banks, and expanding state-level legislative and bankers association activity on fraud issues.
Affected parties — banks, financial institutions, and policymakers tracking fraud legislation — should monitor SCAM Act co-sponsorship growth and state-level fraud bills as the regulatory and legislative landscape evolves beyond bank-only fraud prevention measures. ABA's advocacy for a whole-ecosystem approach signals that non-bank industrial sectors may face increasing fraud-prevention obligations.

April 22, 2026 Reading Time: 198 mins read
On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — a crossover episode with the ABA Fraudcast — ABA’s Rob Nichols and Paul Benda provide several updates on ABA’s work to reduce the incidence and cost of fraud for bank customers. Among other topics, they highlight:
- Their recent participation in the United Nations and Interpol Global Fraud Summit. “O ne of the key messages that I heard loud and clear is the need for there to be a whole ecosystem approach,” said Nichols. “It can’t just be banks protecting their customers and their clients. . . . We have to get these other industrial sectors to really step up and do their fair share.”
- The growing co-sponsorship of the bipartisan SCAM Act, which targets the source of many scams afflicting Americans.
- ABA’s collaboration with the International Banking Federation to bring the best global anti-fraud practices home to the United States.
The growth of state-level legislative activity, and state bankers association leadership, on fraud issues.
