FSG Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Task Force: AML Tech - Regulatory Tickbox Or Great Experience?
Webinar

Webinar Recording

The Financial Services Group Of Livery Companies (FSG) Task Force supports the Sheriffs of the City of London in their express desire to strengthen and simplify Anti-Money Laundering (AML) within the UK. As part of the taskforce’s series of webinars exploring AML, this webinar will be exploring AML Technology.

The mandatory compliance requirements set out and enforced by the FCA and other regulators are stricter than ever, but some firms have managed to deliver the regulatory tick box through an un-cumbersome and perhaps even enjoyable experience that stands out in comparison to competitors’ offerings. This webinar will provide key insights into what AML/KYC tech can do for financial services firms and will investigate how firms think about meeting compliance requirements by rethinking their systems and the data they capture from the experience layer. We welcome 3 experts from Mastercard, TruNarrative and Digital Identity Network to share their knowledge and experience and the results they have achieved. The speakers will offer their suggestions for how companies can utilise regulatory technology to cut costs, reduce errors and transform their compliance process.
