Responding to Threats, Redefining Risk, Rebuilding Frameworks

The Financial Crime Summit – London brings together leading financial crime, compliance, fraud, and risk professionals from global banks and financial institutions for a one-day, in-person conference. In a fast-evolving landscape shaped by technological innovation, regulatory reform, and increasingly sophisticated threat actors, this forum provides a vital space for industry-wide dialogue. From financial crime operations to onboarding and investigations, delegates will explore how to build responsive, future-ready frameworks that maintain trust, manage reputational risk, and ensure cross-functional collaboration.

Plenary sessions will highlight:

  • Adapting to an Evolving Risk Landscape in Financial Crime Compliance: A Board's Perspective
  • Navigating Bank - to - Bank Data Sharing

In 2025, regulatory focus continues to intensify across sanctions circumvention, digital assets, and fraud liability. With a rise in industry collaboration initiatives and a new standard for data sharing under ECCTA, this event is critical for understanding how leading firms are adapting.
