SUMMARY:Smarter Scams\, Smarter Defences: AI and the Future of Financial Crime Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the financial crime landscape; UK Fraud cases were at an all-time high in 2025\, with over 444\,000 cases recorded\, driven partly by criminals using AI tools.  \nFrom AI-generated scams\, deepfakes and autonomous fraud attacks to advanced detection models\, network analytics and intelligence sharing\, the payments and financial services industry is entering a new era of financial crime prevention.  \nThis webinar brings together experts from across fintech\, banking\, fraud intelligence and compliance to share how AI is being weaponised by criminals\, and how firms can respond with smarter\, faster and more collaborative defences.   \nThe panel will utilise real-world case studies and practical examples to examine how organisations are using AI not just to improve efficiency\, but to actively detect\, prevent and disrupt fraud at scale.  \nThe session will also explore the current regulatory landscape\, calling for a shared liability model required to tackle financial crime that includes the role of banks\, payment providers\, telecoms\, social media platforms and regulators.  \n  \nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:Real-Time Payments\, Real-Time Risk: The New Compliance Operating Model
DESCRIPTION:To match customer demand for speed\, convenience and better experience\, payments are fast evolving and real-time payments are increasingly common\, with money changing hands in seconds. The transition to faster transactions comes with known risks\, including a reduced timeframe for detecting fraudulent activity and blocking suspicious transactions. \nAs payments become instant\, embedded and cross-border\, how do compliance teams move from periodic controls to real-time intelligence? \nJoin an exclusive webinar on 24th September at 2pm BST\, hosted by The Payments Association in partnership with LexisNexis Regulatory Compliance to explore the following: \n\nInstant payments and the compression of decision time\nFraud prevention versus customer experience\nSanctions and AML screening in real time\nOperational resilience when payments run 24/7\nHow smaller firms can keep pace with large-bank expectations\n\n\n  \nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:A safeguarding reality check: Learnings from the first six months
DESCRIPTION:Six months since the new safeguarding rules came into effect in May 2026\, firms are still at very different stages of readiness. Some are confident in their processes\, others are still finding their footing. This webinar\, in partnership with AutoRek\, takes stock of what’s actually been achieved since implementation\, benchmarks the market against best practice\, and looks ahead to what the 2027 landscape will demand. Join us for a practical session\, diving into real experiences from the last six months – not a generic regulatory update. \nWe’ll explore: \n\nCASS 15 readiness remains uneven – how can firms that are falling behind start addressing the gaps in policy\, reconciliation and control ownership? What are the early wins and pain points discovered so far?\nGovernance and evidence are now central to compliance and audits raise the stakes even further – what emerging best practice is there for clear ownership\, robust documentation and board-level visibility? How are organisations breaking down team silos for better collaboration?\nDisconnected systems\, inconsistent bank data\, limited visibility of fund flows – how do we get more accurate reconciliations? What role should AI play and where is human oversight still required?\nLooking ahead – can we expect any further updates? What will the 2027 landscape look like?\n\n\nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:What should Europe's next payments infrastructure look like?
DESCRIPTION:Europe’s payments landscape is entering a new era. The digital euro\, stablecoins\, tokenised deposits and Wero are often treated as separate initiatives. But together\, they point to a broader shift towards a more resilient\, competitive and strategically autonomous European payments ecosystem. \nFor banks\, fintechs and payment providers\, the challenge is deciding where\, and how\, to invest. Will new payment models compete or coexist? What infrastructure will be needed to support them? And how can organisations prepare without backing the wrong long-term architecture? \nJoin this webinar to explore the opportunities\, challenges and strategic questions shaping Europe’s next generation of payments\, including: \n\nWhy is Europe rethinking its payments infrastructure\, and what is driving this shift?\nWill the digital euro\, stablecoins\, tokenised deposits and Wero compete\, or will they coexist?\nIf multiple payment models emerge and coexist\, what infrastructure will banks\, fintechs and payment providers need to support them?\nHow can organisations build infrastructure that remains flexible as the payments landscape continues to evolve?\nWhat capabilities and investment priorities should payment leaders focus on over the next five years?\n\nSpeakers:
