Payments are shifting in Europe. For too long, the rules have been dictated by a handful of big-name acquirers who made the process expensive, rigid, and, frankly, stacked against those wanting to innovate. But the tide is turning.

David Maimon Head of Fraud Insights at SentiLink
Over the last several months, my team’s research into online fraud ecosystems has revealed just how far criminals are willing to go to outpace financial institutions. On Telegram, sellers advertise “fullz” — complete identity kits including Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, and even school transcripts. On Facebook, fraudsters openly prom...

For international companies, this creates friction when collecting and sending local payments at scale. Virtual IBANs (VIBANs) offer a modern way to navigate this complexity. B
