EVENT DETAILS

Location: LSEG, 28 Liberty Street New York, NY 10005
Time: 4:00pm – 7:00PM
What to expect: When Financial Crime Moves Faster Than Your Controls
Fraud and AML are no longer distinct challenges, they are different stages of the same activity.
What begins as a scam or social engineering attempt can move through real-time payment rails, into mule accounts, and across borders or digital assets in hours. As payment speeds increase and crime becomes more networked, traditional handoffs between fraud and AML teams are breaking down.
At the same time, AI is reshaping the threat landscape. Criminal networks are using AI to scale and refine fraud, while financial institutions are under pressure to detect, investigate, and respond across fragmented tools, data, and teams.
This ACAMS New York Chapter panel, sponsored by Fivecast and LSEG Risk Intelligence, brings together perspectives from payments, intelligence, and financial data to examine how this convergence is playing out in real investigations.
The discussion will focus on:
- Where fraud activity transitions into AML exposure and why that distinction is breaking down
- The operational impact of real-time payments and compressed investigation timelines
- How AI is actively being used in fraud typologies today and where detection is still lagging
- The role of external intelligence, data, and network visibility in modern investigations
- What needs to change inside financial institutions to respond effectively
