The Financial Crime and Compliance (FCC) operations landscape is rapidly expanding within the Banking and Financial Services (BFS) industry. Amid challenges such as rising fraud, evolving regulatory norms, economic pressures, and unique geopolitical circumstances, financial institutions and next-generation participants are striving to meet compliance standards. They are working to safeguard themselves from financial crimes while managing operational costs and enhancing delivery capabilities. The introduction of new regulations in the financial sector necessitates a dynamic regulatory compliance framework, posing a global management challenge for these institutions.

In response to these challenges, the demand for digital-led FCC offerings is rising. Providers are seizing opportunities to leverage technology in their capabilities, provide platform-led solutions, and co-innovative advisory services to meet the industry’s growing demands. Stakeholders prioritize efficiency and productivity, aiming to reduce false positives and mitigate potential losses from regulatory fines.
