Decoding Digital Conduct: The 2026 RegTech Imperative for Market Integrity

Presenting Speakers

About the Session

As we look ahead to 2026, the pressure is mounting on financial institutions to redefine how they monitor, manage, and prove holistic AML and Surveillance conduct controls.

With enforcement actions escalating this panel will explore how firms are preparing for a new era of oversight, where communications surveillance must span dynamic work environments, encrypted messaging platforms, and increasingly sophisticated trade behaviors. Panellists will unpack how standardised business events, integrated risk models, and AI-powered surveillance can help detect misconduct across fragmented data and communication channels — without compromising AML, privacy or ethical standards.

From real-time detection to proactive prevention, and from regulatory readiness to reputational resilience, this session will navigate the path for “effective AML and market abuse surveillance” in a digitally complex, AI-regulated world — and are firms ready to meet that benchmark?
