The Financial Crime 360 agenda is built based on in-depth research with over 50 industry leaders including key financial institutions and merchants to ensure it addresses your key challenges, and provides a platform for best practice exchange, benchmarking and learning. Gathering actors from across sectors, the event will explore the intricacies of new technology, evolving regulatory landscapes and complex geopolitical context. Together, let’s learn, adapt and collaborate to fight and prevent growing financial crime and fraud.

72% of financial crime professionals surveyed by the Payments Association in 2025 identified fraud as their biggest challenge. Industries across sectors – financial institutions, big tech, telecoms – need to come together to counter increasingly organised and international fraud attempts to protect both their organisations and their customers. Attend the fraud & scams sessions to:

Discover the latest trends and hear concrete examples of how fraudsters are using new technology to commit crimes and put your organisations and customers at risks.
Discuss the New Fraud Strategy and what it means for your fraud team and wider organisation.

What is the impact of the ever-changing geopolitical context on your organisation? Come and benchmark your practices with your peers to ensure you align your strategy with the industry:

Join discussions on how to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape and the impact of the Iran War on sanctions considerations.
Explore the indirect impact of sanctions, how to strengthen screening capabilities to prevent circumvention, PEPs and adverse media risks.

Exchange with peers to determine what a good risk-based approach looks like for an organisation like yours.

AI is here now, and criminals are using it. With 58% of surveyed financial crime prevention professionals worrying about AI-enabled crim, what are we doing to counter their efforts, do we understand the full implication of the technology and what is the next step to use it to its full potential? Let’s get practical and:

Listen to real-life case-studies of how other organisations are implementing AI and get practical tips you can bring back to your own firm.
Understand the newest AI-related risks, what agentic AI means for the industry and how criminals are using AI to commit crimes.
Get up to speed with the latest practical AI applications for your financial crime and fraud frameworks.

Let’s not forget the customers and the victims! With the increase in scams and fraud in the digital age, what are we doing to enhance customer protection and experience? How do we balance friction with customer experience? Sessions at the event will allow you to:

Hear more about what your organisation can do to support customers not to fall victims to perpetrators of fraud, scams, or financial abuse.
Check if you are doing enough – and get fresh best-practice ideas from your peers on customer engagement, education and experience.

Learn more about what criminals are truly doing, and how they are doing it. By knowing more about ways in which the bad actors are using deepfakes, social engineering, coercion or social media, we can adapt controls and move towards a more pro-active approach to financial crime.

Learn about the latest trends and tech-enabled fraud practices.
Get real life examples of how criminals are working and understand their methods better to adapt your strategy.

Only through methodical intelligence sharing and collaboration can we catch organised criminals. How can industry, government and law enforcement work better together to fight financial crime?

Unite with senior peers to advance the discussion on how we can scale financial crime intelligence sharing to be not only industry-wide, but also cross-sector, to fight organised crime.
Hear directly from organisations who are already sharing data to successfully counter fraudsters and get practical takeaways on implementation and partnerships.

The event is also the time to benchmark your controls and ensure your AML and fraud frameworks are up-to-date, efficient, and streamlined. We’ll unite financial institutions, merchants and tech companies to discuss what the best strategies and latest innovations are. Attend to:

Hear about the newest developments in digital identity and discuss how we can ensure the highest standards for the UK market.
Learn from peers and other industries about how they create friction for criminals without hindering customer onboarding.
Join the conversation on synthetic identities and whether our existing controls are now obsolete.

With the growing use and acceptance of cryptoassets within the banking system, and new UK regulations, firms need to ensure they have their ducks in a row when it comes to crypto and financial crime prevention. Don’t miss out, and join the conversations to:

Explore the implications of the new cryptoassets regime and what firms need to do to be prepared for a more regulated market.
Discuss the role of the stablecoin in fighting financial crime, and the potential associated new risks.
Discover examples of strong AML and KYC policies to address institutional risks related to crypto.

Collaboration, innovation, and a holistic approach of financial crime prevention are now more critical than ever to counter criminals. MLROs and senior financial crime prevention professionals should join the conversation to:

Benchmark your AML processes and exchange best practice on how to integrate controls with wider financial crime and fraud prevention efforts.
Understand what the latest amendments to AML UK regulations mean for your team, and the significance of the new AMLA in Europe.
