On-Demand Webinar

COVID-19 and combating financial crime with a collaborative approach

Duration: 30 minutes

About the webinar

COVID-19 has brought suffering to many individuals and communities, as well as presenting enormous challenges to many businesses, including financial services.

The global response to the pandemic has reinforced the strong belief that “unity is strength”.  We have seen that through collaboration and exchange of information and services our countries and health systems have been successful to contain and limit the negative impacts of the crisis.  In terms of financial crime and more specifically in the area of suspicious behaviour detection, this is becoming the new paradigm where every single financial institution or more broadly every AML/CTF regulated entity cannot identify, detect and qualify money laundering and terrorism financing schemes effectively through customers’ transactions. 

The collaboration model between financial institutions for transaction monitoring can apply at different levels and stages of the overall process - at data integration and preparation level, at the detection stage by the execution of consortium model and/or at investigation level by the creation of investigative hubs.  It’s through the structure of an eco-system that regulated entities will succeed.  However, there are a lot of obstacles to this new paradigm

This webinar will provide a unique opportunity to understand:

  • The type of collaboration model that can be envisaged
  • The external challenges and inherent financial institutions’ limitations which pose as many potential obstacles
  • The necessary regulation developments that will be needed to support this shift
  • How technology can strengthen this new paradigm in AML
