AML in FinTech Startups - Unique Risks & Controls - Building Compliance at Speed

Introduction

Fintech startups often scale quickly, iterate products rapidly and rely on third-party providers, all of which can amplify AML risk if controls do not keep pace.

This new virtual classroom seminar provides practical guidance on designing proportionate AML frameworks for emerging businesses, including governance, vendor management and monitoring strategies.

It is ideal for fintech founders and operators, compliance leads, MLROs, in-house legal teams, risk managers, regtech professionals and advisers supporting early-stage financial services.
