Despite huge market volatility, economic disruptions, and inflation at decadal highs, the payments industry and cryptocurrency and virtual asset markets continue to grow exponentially. At the same time, there is unprecedented regulatory scrutiny globally, and even sharper sanctions risks.
The regulatory landscape is evolving and placing a heavy burden on compliance teams to navigate. However, technology is stepping up to the plate with innovations that can help market participants to navigate changing threats and meet compliance obligations quickly and efficiently.
In this event, we will bring together players from the payments, crypto and VASP community to explore the latest regulatory developments, unpack the compliance requirements, including customer onboarding and the travel rule, due diligence and screening, and discuss the best practices and solutions available to firms to help.
