Entersekt expands leadership team after 10bn transactions

Wed, 25th Feb 2026

Entersekt has expanded its commercial leadership team after reporting strong growth in North America and reaching a new processing milestone over the past year.

The digital banking fraud prevention and payment security provider delivered 30% year-on-year growth in North America and increased new client wins by 21%. Over the past 12 months, it processed more than 10 billion transactions.

As part of the senior hires, Tim Sadler has joined as Chief Revenue Officer and John Bolger as VP of Partnerships.

Sadler brings more than 20 years of experience in financial fraud and security. He previously worked at Armis and BioCatch, and will oversee sales, marketing, and customer success.

"I'm honored to join Entersekt at such a pivotal moment in the company's growth," Sadler said. "Entersekt has long been an innovator by bringing contextual awareness to fraud prevention methods to marry security and user experience. I look forward to working alongside this team to continue amplifying this vision globally."

Bolger previously worked at BioCatch and will lead global partnerships, channels, and alliances.

Other appointments include Mazen Diab as SVP of Revenue Operations, Nick Williamson as U.S. Sales Director, and UK-based Matt Berryman as Senior Solutions Consulting Director. Diab previously worked at Feedzai, Williamson at Kroll, and Berryman at Arcot.

Product Moves

Entersekt also launched Entersekt Orkestrate, a pre-packaged, low-code authentication integration product that deploys through a single API.

It also highlighted Entersekt Authentication Advisor as a driver of recent client performance, saying it has reduced scam and fraud losses while increasing the volume of frictionless transactions.

Financial institutions have increased spending on fraud tools in response to rising scams, social engineering, and account takeover attempts. Banks and payment providers have also had to balance additional checks with customer experience, particularly in mobile banking and online card payments.

Entersekt positions its approach around "Context Aware Authentication," which it describes as cross-channel. The company operates in North America, Europe, and South Africa.

Scale And Recognition

Entersekt reported continued acceleration in North America, driven by new customer wins and a broader partner ecosystem. It also linked the trend to demand for its platform in multiple regions.

Over the past 12 months, the company processed more than 10 billion transactions, which it cited as evidence of scale and customer trust.

Entersekt also pointed to third-party recognition, including Best Authentication Innovation at the 5th Annual Datos Insights' Impact Awards in Fraud & AML. It also featured in Liminal's 2026 Account Takeover Prevention in Banking report.

Founded in 2010, Entersekt serves financial institutions internationally and holds more than 120 patents.

In 2023, it acquired the Modirum 3-D Secure software business from Helsinki-based security technology company Modirum, strengthening its position in authentication for card-not-present payments.

Entersekt said it processes 7.5 billion or more transactions for more than 250 million cardholders and more than 450,000 merchants. Its customer base includes nearly 900 banks across more than 70 countries.

Accel-KKR backs the company. Entersekt said it plans to keep expanding across key regions as it invests in commercial leadership and partnerships.
