PIMFA Financial Crime Conference 2026

The threat of financial crime remains an existential one for firms to guard against, for the benefit of their clients, and for their very survival. Building on the success of previous events PIMFA will convene a mix of regulators, law enforcement, governmental representatives, technical experts, sector specialists and member perspectives, to give the audience the knowledge to protect themselves and do their part contributing to tackling the issue.

Topics being scoped for 2026 include:

– AI: Criminals vs Compliance and the arms race between perpetration and prevention
– Digital ID: will government plans be beneficial to financial crime prevention?
– Geopolitical risk: Managing the macro impact of an unstable world
– Cyber security: Guarding against a sophisticated and malicious threat landscape
– The regulatory landscape: The FCA’s five year strategy and focus on financial crime
– Economic abuse: a focus on ensuring the safety of our most vulnerable clients
– Sanctions: how to operate safely within a chaotic international environment

As in previous years, this event is aimed not just at financial crime professionals and MLROs, but at anyone in a senior management or compliance function, working to ensure firm’s work is safe for clients, and one step ahead of the various threat actors acting against the financial services sector in 2026.
