- How will the UK Fraud Strategy 2026–2029 reshape the responsibilities and expectations of banks, fintechs, telcos, and online platforms?
- What early‑warning intelligence do organisations need to detect criminal innovation faster, and why aren’t current data‑sharing models delivering it yet?
- How can identity systems evolve quickly enough to counter synthetic IDs, AI‑driven impersonation, and deepfake‑enabled attacks?
- What governance, controls, and technology investments are required to secure instant payments without compromising customer experience or economic growth?
- Where do emerging risks in digital assets, DeFi, and quantum‑accelerated threats intersect with mainstream AML and fraud obligations, and how should organisations prepare now?
The UK is entering a decisive new phase in its fight against financial crime, with the forthcoming Fraud Strategy 2026–2029 signalling a fundamental shift in how the country intends to disrupt criminal activity, safeguard consumers, and accelerate national resilience. This webinar will unpack the early implications of this system‑wide approach, exploring how the convergence of technology, regulation, and criminal innovation is reshaping expectations across banking, fintech, telco, online platforms, and law enforcement. Attendees will gain clarity on the threats growing fastest, from real‑time payment exploitation to synthetic identities, and why a coordinated national response has become essential.
As fraud rapidly evolves into a hyperconnected, cross‑channel threat, organisations must rethink how they detect early signals, share intelligence, and collaborate at speed. The session will explore the structural vulnerabilities criminals are exploiting today and the operational gaps that still prevent earlier intervention. By analysing patterns across payments flows, digital identity, crypto markets, and online environments, the webinar will show how industry and government can work together to strengthen defences long before harm occurs. These insights set the stage for deeper cross‑sector conversations happening at NextGen FinCrime on 8 July.
Technology is also transforming both sides of the equation. Criminals are increasingly using AI‑generated identities, deepfakes, and real‑time manipulation to bypass legacy controls, while defenders now have access to predictive analytics, behavioural biometrics, tokenisation, and cloud‑native fraud platforms that can radically improve detection and response. This webinar will highlight where innovation is accelerating risk, and where it creates opportunity. These themes directly connect to the event’s dedicated sessions on identity, AI‑driven prevention, and the emerging risks in crypto and DeFi that will define the next decade.
Ultimately, this webinar offers a strategic preview of the issues, insights, and cross‑industry expertise that will be explored in depth at NextGen FinCrime. By drawing on the themes of collaboration, intelligence‑sharing, regulation, and future threat landscapes, the session provides essential context for anyone shaping fraud, security, compliance, or digital strategy. For leaders seeking to understand not just what’s changing now, but what must change next, NextGen FinCrime will bring together the UK’s most influential voices in financial crime prevention, and this webinar is your front‑row seat to what’s coming.
Sign up for this Finextra webinar on 9 June, ahead of NextGen FinCrime on 8 July in London, to hear our panel of experts discuss early‑warning intelligence that organisations need to detect criminal innovation faster, and why current data‑sharing models aren’t delivering it yet?
