Share

THE HAGUE, NL / ACCESS Newswire / December 10, 2025 / The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) is pleased to announce that Nasdaq Verafin has joined GASA as a Foundation Member, strengthening the global effort to combat scams, financial crime, and digital fraud. As fraud tactics continue to evolve across borders and digital channels, cross-sector collaboration has become essential to protecting consumers and building safer financial ecosystems.

Nasdaq Verafin's participation marks a meaningful step forward in the shared mission to advance trust, transparency, and resilience across the globe. In addition to joining the global effort, Nasdaq Verafin will join both the Brazil and Mexico chapters of GASA to partner with stakeholders across the financial ecosystem in Latin America, bolstering regional initiatives to combat financial crime.

"Criminals are innovating at an unprecedented rate, taking advantage of information siloes and the shortcomings of legacy technology to avoid detection. We are at an inflection point in the fight against financial crime, one that requires the entire ecosystem to come together, leveraging the power of collective intelligence to strengthen our defenses and better protect consumers around the globe. We look forward to partnering closely with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance to share innovative solutions, intelligence, and global expertise to the unique challenges financial institutions in Brazil and Mexico face," said Mauriceo Castanheiro, Head of International Payments Fraud at Nasdaq Verafin.

Nasdaq Verafin is a global leader in financial crime management technology solutions, trusted by more than 2,700 financial institutions around the globe. The company's innovative approach combines consortium data, AI, and machine learning to deter, detect, and prevent criminal activity. Nasdaq Verafin's consortium approach uncovers hidden risks across the financial system, leveraging data and insights from across 800 million counterparties to improve fraud detection and prevention while reducing false positives.

"Having Nasdaq Verafin join the Global Anti-Scam Alliance as a Foundation Member is a milestone for our organization and for the global fight against scams. Their deep expertise in leveraging technology to more efficiently and effectively detect criminal activity brings a new level of insight and influence to our mission. With Nasdaq Verafin's partnership, and their representatives joining the boards of our Brazil and Mexico Chapters, we are strengthening our ability to connect global knowledge with local action. Together, we can help shape stronger policies, accelerate industry collaboration, and build the foundations of a scam free future." said Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of GASA.

"The addition of Nasdaq Verafin as a Foundation Member is not only a milestone for the Brazil Chapter, it is a strong endorsement of the relevance of our market and the seriousness of the work we have been building from day one. We are starting our journey already alongside a globally recognized institution known for excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to integrity. This partnership strengthens our ability to translate global expertise into local impact and accelerates our mission to raise the standard of collaboration in the fight against scams and financial crime in Brazil." said Renata Salvini, Chapter Director for Brazil.

"With 76 percent of Mexican adults victimized by scams and 139 billion pesos lost annually, according to the 2025 State of Scams in Mexico Report, 2026 will be devastating. AI democratized productivity but industrialized fraud, this isn't a prediction, it's a countdown. Combating this epidemic requires integrated defenses where early detection triggers coordinated action across digital platforms, telecommunications, finance, and authorities. Nasdaq Verafin's addition to GASA Mexico bridges the gap between technology and coordination. Without systemic collaboration, our economic system remains vulnerable. This strengthens our multistakeholder commitment to essential stability", added Sissi de la Peña, Chapter Director for Mexico.

Through this partnership, Nasdaq Verafin executives will join the Chapter Advisory Boards of GASA Mexico and Brazil. As a Foundation Member, Nasdaq Verafin will collaborate with GASA and its members, bringing insights from more than two decades of stopping financial crime to develop innovative new strategies that protect consumers from fraud and scams.
