THIS YEAR
The Rules Are Being Rewritten
- FinCEN has proposed a fundamental overhaul of the AML framework, with the final rule expected soon.
- A newly approved settlement is changing the surcharging rules you operate under.
- AI agents are starting to transact on consumers' behalf before the liability rules exist.
- And that is only part of it: open banking, state interchange bills, click-to-cancel, digital assets, prediction markets, and cannabis payments are all in motion too.
All of it will change what regulators, auditors, and sponsor banks expect of your program.
Reading the alerts tells you what changed. Two days in Washington lets you test your strategy against it.
You will work your real scenarios at small-table workshops with the attorneys who defend enforcement actions, hear federal regulators explain their priorities for the coming year, put your questions to all four card networks in one room, and learn from executives who have either been through it or are already ahead of it.
You leave knowing where your program is exposed and what to fix first, which is why most compliance leaders bring their teams.
