BioCatch’s 2026 Digital Banking Fraud Trends in Brazil report offers a comprehensive perspective on the current threat landscape and banking fraud trends in the country. It relies on proprietary data from Brazilian banks deploying BioCatch solutions.

In this report, you’ll discover:

• Social engineering remains a dominant threat: Social engineering scam attempts in Brazil increased 15% from the second half of 2025 to the first half of 2026.
• Fake lawyer scams emerge as a major threat: While fake store and fake call center scams remain the most prevalent social engineering scam types in Brazil, fake lawyer scams now rank third. In a fake lawyer scam, the fraudster exploits publicly available Brazilian court records to obtain case numbers and personal information, which they then use to impersonate legal professionals and manipulate victims.
