Banks and financial institutions are responding by modernising how they detect, investigate and prevent financial crime. In this session, we’ll explore what is actually changing inside financial institutions, why customers are sometimes experiencing more “friction” such as blocked payments or additional checks, and how AI and new technologies are reshaping financial crime controls.
Naheed will break down complex industry developments into clear, relatable concepts, helping attendees understand what is happening behind the scenes and why it matters for both businesses and customers.

- Why financial crime and fraud are growing faster – and what that means for customers and businesses
- How banks are using data and AI to improve fraud detection and investigations
