SUMMARY:Financial Crime 360 Roundtable: Women In Financial Crime
DESCRIPTION:At Financial Crime 360 this year\, we are bringing together women across the industry for an open\, collaborative forum to exchange ideas\, amplify their perspectives\, and build lasting connections in financial crime compliance and innovation. \nAccording to Fintech Futures\, women make up only 30% of the fintech workforce in the UK. This is a significant gender gap that needs to be addressed. Additionally\, according to a report by Deloitte\, women represent less than 10% of leadership – both as founders and as executive boards of fintech firms. \nWe need to provide more opportunities for women to thrive in the industry. \n\nWhat barriers or biases continue to limit women’s progression into senior leadership roles in the payments industry\, and how can organisations actively dismantle them?\nHow can the payments sector create greater visibility for women’s expertise and ensure that diverse voices influence industry standards\, innovation\, and policy?\nHow can organisations in payments better support women in entering high-growth areas such as digital assets\, cybersecurity\, and AI?\n\nJoin our roundtable to hear from leading voices\, share insights and experiences and explore the future of financial crime prevention through the lens of women driving change in the field. \nYou must be registered for Financial Crime 360 to attend this event. If you aren’t registered for Financial Crime 360\, your registation for this event will be denied.

SUMMARY:Financial Crime 360 Workshop: Tackling Fraud in Merchant Payments
DESCRIPTION:Fraud is now one of the biggest costs and risks for merchants. From APP scams to chargebacks and refund abuse to regulatory pressure\, the cost of fraud continues to rise – not just in losses\, but in operational overhead and customer trust. At the same time\, merchants must modernise their infrastructure and adopt the new payment options that customers demand\, all while ensuring resilience and security. \nThe Boardroom series is an opportunity for peers to come together and candidly discuss shared issues and collaborate on solutions. Join this session\, designed for merchant payment professionals and led by an expert facilitator to dig into emerging best practice and common challenges. \nThis roundtable will explore:  \n\nThe true cost of fraud: chargebacks\, APP fraud\, regulatory compliance\nBest practice for fraud prevention: tools\, vendors\, and collaborations\nStriking the balance: keeping customers safe while avoiding friction at checkout\, and different risks across different payment methods.\nInfrastructure considerations: building resilient systems to support fraud controls\, multiple PSPs\, and emerging payment options.\n\n  \nYou must be registered for Financial Crime 360 to attend this event. If you aren’t registered for Financial Crime 360\, your registation for this event will be denied.

SUMMARY:Shaping Future Entrepreneurs: House of Commons Reception Hosted by Lord McNicol
DESCRIPTION:Lord McNicol of West Kilbride\, on behalf of Ziyx\, supported by The Payments Association\nis delighted to invite you to the reception for the launch of: \nYoung Entrepreneurship Programme\nShaping Future Entrepreneurs: House of Commons Reception Hosted by Lord McNicol  \nMonday 10th November13.30 – 16.30 GMTTerrace Pavilion\, House of Commons \nOnly 50 spaces available1 person per companyAimed at C-suite and Policy leaders \nBackground\nWe are operating in a period of unprecedented change. As AI is forecast to reshape the job market\, displacing millions\, the need for adaptable\, entrepreneurial skills has never been greater. \nAt the same time\, a significant proportion of young people are disengaged from traditional education and employment pathways\, yet express a strong desire to start their own businesses. \nThis invites a crucial line of thought: is our current support system designed for the entrepreneurs of the future? \nKey Questions\n\n\nWhat if the traditional methods of business support\, heavily reliant on auditory learning\, inadvertently exclude the 65% of the population who are visual and kinaesthetic learners? \n\n\nCould this be a significant\, overlooked barrier to social mobility\, and a contributor to the UK’s ranking of 21st globally in this area? \n\n\nWith the evolving attention span of young people\, does the next generation require a more immersive\, personalised\, and engaging form of learning to build the skills needed to thrive alongside AI? \n\n\nWith the rise of AI displacing up to 3 million UK jobs in the next decade\, how do we ensure people are retrained—or supported in choosing an independent path? \n\n\nWhy Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL)?\nDigital Game-Based Learning presents a fascinating avenue for this discussion. Early research suggests its positive impact on motivation\, comprehension\, and confidence\, potentially offering a more inclusive and effective model. \nReception Goals\nThis reception aims to be a catalyst for conversation\, bringing together leaders to discuss: \n\n\nThe gap between entrepreneurial ambition and opportunity. \n\n\nThe role of AI and new learning models in shaping the future of work. \n\n\nHow we can collectively foster a more inclusive and adaptive ecosystem for entrepreneurship.

SUMMARY:The value of strategic compliance\, beyond the fines and penalties
DESCRIPTION:With the increasing regulatory assertiveness across sectors\, what do regulatory\, and compliance professionals need to consider to avoid fines within their organisations and turn compliance into a competitive advantage? In the context of recent examples of leading organisations receiving large fines – what have we learnt from cases of AML\, governance and infrastructure failures?  \nFinancial institutions should not only aim to embed compliance within the culture of their businesses\, demonstrate accountability and integrity\, but also see compliance as a competitive edge creating added value to the organisation.

What is needed to ensure and demonstrate accountability and business integrity? \n\n\nNavigating the regulatory landscape: How to adapt a comprehensive framework when doing business globally? What are the differing obligations across sectors? How do they vary between traditional banking\, fintech and crypto? \n\n\nBuilding a strong anti-financial crime infrastructure: What is needed to define the right risk appetite for the organisation\, manage financial crime risk and set up an adapted governance framework? Who needs to be involved in the decision process and what are the different roles of the various stakeholders?  \n\n\nThe right use of technology: How can technology be used efficiently to strengthen and scale processes? What to look for in third party providers to ensure fit-to-purpose solutions? \nBenchmarking practices: What can we learn from peers across industries best practice examples or past mistakes? \n\nJoin this discussion on 20th November to get practical tips on how to protect your organisation and turn compliance into a competitive advantage!  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \nSpeakers: \n \n
