Is your AML infrastructure fit for real-time risk?

Rising financial crime risk, escalating compliance costs and growing regulatory scrutiny are forcing institutions to confront whether their existing AML systems can still deliver.

In today’s environment, financial institutions face increasing exposure to financial crime, driven by geopolitical volatility, higher transaction volumes and more sophisticated illicit activity. At the same time, AML and compliance leaders are under pressure to reduce false positives, manage spiralling operational costs and demonstrate effective, auditable controls – often on infrastructure that was not designed for real-time decision-making or advanced analytics.

As a result, many banks, insurers and asset managers are now grappling with difficult trade-offs. Incremental upgrades may prolong the life of legacy systems, but risk embedding inefficiencies. AI overlays promise improvements, yet may add complexity without addressing underlying weaknesses. More fundamental transformation offers potential long-term gains – but with significant cost, disruption and execution risk.

Featuring an expert panel, this Risk.net webinar will explore how institutions are addressing these issues in practice, from aligning technology and operations to redesigning data strategies and managing large-scale migration. It will also examine how firms can make informed decisions in a market where vendor capabilities – and claims – are evolving rapidly.
