30+ Experts to Share Anti-Financial Crime Strategies for FinTech & Crypto at ACAMS Assembly

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amid increased scrutiny of FinTech and cryptocurrency businesses, including actions by regulators against banking as a service (BaaS) providers, and the U.S. Department of Justice prosecutions of digital asset service providers, ACAMS, a leading global membership organization for anti-financial crime (AFC) professionals, will convene FinTech, Crypto and AFC experts in Austin, Texas from June 10-11.

Through immersive sessions, including deep dive discussions, case studies, mini-workshops, and “lightning rounds,” the event will provide crucial perspectives on new and evolving threats, such as those related to decentralized finance, generative AI, FinTech and terrorist financing.

The Assembly FinTech & Crypto 2024 will feature a lineup of more than 10 informative sessions with insights into:

  • Rewards and risks of partnerships between banks and FinTech companies.
  • Best practices for using large-language models in AFC programs.
  • Addressing terrorism financing.
  • Red flags and lessons learned for crypto compliance.

In a pivotal roundtable led by top regulatory agencies, panelists will dissect topics such as President Biden’s executive order on AI and the $10K+ crypto transaction reporting rule. The session will also explore regulatory oversight considerations for BaaS operations and crypto licenses.

Featured keynote speakers include:

  • Cesare Fracassi, Associate Professor of Finance, Director of the Blockchain Initiative, and Director of the Fintech Research Lab, the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin;
  • Christina Rea, Former Interim Chief Compliance Officer, Binance, U.S, CEO and Founder of RayCor Consulting, who will share important lessons from her time as compliance head at Binance, U.S.

"With the FinTech and crypto worlds continuing to grow, it’s essential that AFC professionals have the knowledge and strategies needed to drive progress while mitigating risk," said ACAMS CEO, Neil Sternthal. "This conference will foster the critical thinking and collaboration necessary to craft innovative compliance frameworks that strengthen our global AFC efforts and redefine the landscape of financial services."

Attendees will have the opportunity to pick up practical skills to integrate generative AI into compliance activities, detect crypto-based fraud, identify gaps in blockchain transaction monitoring, and leverage suspicious activity reports (SARs) reports to aid investigators. Participants will also be able to engage directly with speakers and their peers during networking receptions.
