Scaling Financial Crime Compliance: StartUps Navigating Growth, Risk, and Resilience

Futureproof your compliance strategy before regulators force your hand

Fintechs, crypto firms, and challenger banks are exploding with new entrants—and while that growth is reshaping the financial landscape, it’s also introducing serious compliance challenges.

In this webinar, experts from Concentrix and Everest Group break down what it takes to operationalize fintech compliance in today’s complex financial ecosystem—where AI is embedded, crypto is mainstreaming, and traditional banks are increasingly exposed through partnerships and sponsor models.

From embedding controls into the product lifecycle to leveraging automation and advisory partnerships, this session delivers real-world tactics for staying ahead of risk—without dragging down growth.

Whether you’re launching a next-gen financial product or managing exposure to new players, this session will give you practical strategies to build resilience, transparency, and trust.
