Conference

2025-07-01 | 01:15 PM - 02:05 PM (GMT+00:00) London

Are financial institutions truly using KYC to understand their clients and fight financial crime, or has it become a regulatory formality?
How can financial institutions better utilise existing internal data sources to create a more accurate, dynamic, and holistic view of the client?
How can banks evolve their data governance strategies to reduce data silos and facilitate seamless data integration across the different KYC, fraud, and AML functions?
What are the biggest barriers preventing banks from turning KYC into a meaningful risk intelligence tool and what practical steps can banks take to move towards a more fit for purpose model?
How can financial institutions move towards a more real-time, event-driven approach without overwhelming onboarding teams?
What cultural and structural shifts are needed within KYC and operations teams to develop this?
