FinCrime Fighters Breakfast: Balancing Speed & Compliance in SEPA Instant
Overview
Breakfast session on balancing speed and AML/CFT compliance under SEPA Instant’s 10-second regulatory reality.
Overview
The shift from voluntary participation to the mandatory Instant Payments Regulation (IPR) has transformed euro transfers into a "compulsory sprint," requiring execution within 10 seconds, 24/7/365. While this modernization promises unparalleled convenience, it creates a structural paradox for financial institutions: how to maintain rigorous financial crime prevention without "crying wolf" through disruptive false positives. Join us for an insightful breakfast session as we navigate the "compliance twilight zone," exploring how to balance the need for speed with the immovable demands of AML/CFT and sanctions compliance.
Keynote Speaker: Eglė Kontautaitė
Head of Client Solutions at AMLYZE Eglė is a leading authority in the AML/CFT world with over 13 years of experience supervising financial market participants at the Bank of Lithuania, where she served as the Head of the Money Laundering Prevention Division. Having represented the Lithuanian delegation during the Moneyval assessment, she brings deep, hands-on expertise in customer supervision and risk management during regulatory inspections.
What You’ll Learn
This session provides a deep dive into the practical implementation of the new regulatory reality:
Sanctions Screening Relief vs. Pressure: How to manage the removal of certain transaction screening obligations while meeting the new requirement for "immediate" dataset updates.
Navigating the Twilight Zone: Addressing "grey areas" such as national sanctions, extraterritorial (U.S./OFAC) risks, and sectoral sanctions that fall outside current exemptions.
Operational Adaptation: Strategies for rethinking monitoring architecture, including layered monitoring and risk-based segmentation to resolve alerts within the 10-second window.
Balancing the Binary: Managing the "accept or reject" mandate of SEPA Instant without compromising AML/CFT obligations to freeze or report suspicious activity.
