This collaboration helps us evaluate what it takes to bring these capabilities into production environments.”</p><p>“Financial institutions are increasingly looking for stablecoin infrastructure that meets their operational, regulatory, and privacy requirements,” said Ben Milne, founder and CEO of Brale. “Working with Visa to explore SBC on Canton is an important step toward making stablecoin-based settlement more practical and scalable for real-world payment flows.”</p><p>Visa believes stablecoins represent a scalable, next-generation settlement layer for global payments.

(NYSE: V)</b>, a global leader in digital payments, today announced an expansion of the Visa Commercial Solutions Hub (VCS Hub), further strengthening how issuers and suppliers connect to scale virtual card programs. Through a new integration with Visa Accounts Receivable Manager (Visa AR Manager), eligible issuers gain built-in access to end-to-end processing designed to reduce operational friction and accelerate commercial card growth.</p><p>Virtual cards are among the fastest-growing payment methods in commercial payments yet scaling them remains complex.

Unlike traditional fraud, these attacks typically do not require breaching technology. Instead, scammers impersonate trusted brands and institutions, manufacture urgency, and deceive victims into completing legitimate-looking transactions.</p><p>“Payments at a network level continue to get safer, but threats are evolving faster than ever,” said Paul Fabara, Chief Risk and Client Services Officer at Visa. “Criminals are increasingly targeting people rather than technology, using deception, urgency and AI-enabled tools to exploit trust. Addressing this shift requires continuous innovation at the network level and close collaboration across banks, merchants, policymakers and the broader payments ecosystem.”</p><p><b>Four trends shaping the global payment threat landscape</b></p><p>The latest edition of the Biannual Threats Report identifies four major trends reshaping payment security worldwide:</p><ul class="bwlistdisc"><li><b>Security is working, but fraud is migrating:</b> Fraud involving device tokens declined 9.6% from July 2025 – December 2025 over the same period in 2024, reinforcing that stronger authentication and network-level protections are effective, even as overall attack volumes continue to rise.</li><li><b>Scams are accelerating:</b> Scams are now the dominant consumer threat as criminals prioritize social engineering over direct system breaches.</li><li><b>AI is transforming fraud on both sides:</b> Fraudsters are using AI to scale more convincing scams, while defenders are increasingly deploying AI to detect and stop attacks earlier in the transaction lifecycle.</li><li><b>Ransomware economics are shifting:</b> Global ransomware activity increased 26% from July 2025 – December 2025 over the same period in 2024, yet only 23% of victims paid ransoms – the lowest rate on record – reflecting improving resilience and recovery capabilities, as well as a reluctance to pay when data could still be leaked, regardless of payment.</li></ul><p>“The rapid adoption of AI has fundamentally lowered the barrier to entry for fraud,” said Michael Jabbara, SVP, Payment Ecosystem Risk and Control at Visa. “What once required deep technical skill can now be executed with a prompt.
