2026年8月3日，全球支付龍頭Visa為對抗金融犯罪採取重大舉措，宣布以24億美元現金收購以色列網路安全公司BioCatch。
On August 3, 2026, global payments leader Visa made a major move in the fight against financial crime by announcing the acquisition of BioCatch, an Israeli cybersecurity firm, for $2.4 billion in cash.
隨著人工智慧驅動的詐騙和帳戶接管持續威脅全球經濟，每年造成超過1兆美元的損失，此項收購對Visa而言是關鍵的一步。
As AI-powered scams and account takeovers continue to threaten the global economy, costing over $1 trillion annually, this acquisition marks a significant step for Visa.
BioCatch以其在行為生物識別技術方面的專業聞名，該技術可分析用戶模式，例如滑鼠移動和觸控手勢，以便在交易完成前即時偵測詐欺行為。
BioCatch is renowned for its expertise in behavioral biometrics, a technology that analyzes user patterns—such as mouse movements and touch gestures—to detect fraud in real time before a transaction is completed.
透過將這些先進工具整合至服務中，Visa旨在從源頭阻斷威脅。
By integrating these advanced tools into its services, Visa aims to stop threats upstream.
此交易繼Visa於2024年收購Featurespace後進行，加強了其擴展傳統支付處理之外的安全性與風險管理服務之承諾。
This deal follows Visa’s 2024 acquisition of Featurespace, reinforcing its commitment to expanding security and risk management services beyond traditional payment processing.
BioCatch目前在全球服務超過350家銀行客戶，未來將繼續由現有團隊營運。
BioCatch, which already serves over 350 banking clients worldwide, will continue to operate with its existing team.
該交易尚須經監管單位批准，預計於2027年初完成。
Subject to regulatory approval, the deal is expected to close by early 2027.
此投資突顯了Visa在數位威脅日益複雜的情況下保持領先的策略，旨在保護其龐大金融生態系統中數百萬名用戶及數十億台設備。
This investment highlights Visa's strategy to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated digital threats, protecting millions of users and billions of devices across its expansive financial ecosystem.
