About this Event
The digital-first nature of today’s financial and banking services and the exponential growth of fintech companies, requires a shift in the compliance culture from top-down driven to a new mindset spread within the whole organization.
Eleven is teaming up with the European Compliance Center, Raiffeisenbank and the Bulgarian Fintech Association to bring you the Fintech Spotlight meetup, powered by the Visa Innovation Program, on the topic of “AML compliance and the fight against financial crime”.
The event will introduce the types of financial crimes inherent to the fintech industry with the focus on AML/CTF risks. You will have the answers to important questions like:
- How should fintech stay compliant?
- What are the challenges and opportunities?
- How high is the compliance threshold?
We have an excellent lineup of speakers who will cover the specificities of KYC and onboarding process, sanction screening and transaction monitoring. Examples of crime typologies will be given. We will discuss RegTech solutions for real-time analysis of anomalous transactions.
All of these with the aim is to contemplate on the fintech and banks compliance standard.
