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.
