Reusable identity

Demand for reusable identity is increasing at pace, driven by regulatory backing and a growing number of live pilots. Can reusable credentials enable greater interoperability across the financial services sector and beyond?

Payments & Regulation

With PSD3 and Confirmation of Payee set to tighten SCA regulations across the digital economy, how will banks, retailers, wallet providers, EMIs and payment gateway leverage innovative approaches to authentication?

Fraud & Scams

The increase in volume and sophistication of APP fraud attacks is a major concern for financial providers. With regulatory changes set to shift the burden of liability, how can innovation and education help to protect customers?

AI Advances

Rapid technological advances have solidified AI’s place on the innovation agenda. As misinformation meets genuine risk, how are financial providers facing the threats and embracing the opportunities of this transformative technology?

KYB, KYE, KYC

Knowing the identity of every customer, employee and entity is critical in a heavily regulated sector like financial services. How can innovation in digital identity verification enhance efficiency, productivity, user experience and fraud reduction?

Inclusion. Inclusion. Inclusion.

When it comes to building digital identity, inclusion can no longer be ignored. Championing diversity at all stages of product development, from design, to testing, will impact customer satisfaction, business reputation and revenue.

Find out what to expect from the day ahead.

Laura Camplisson, Future Identity Portfolio Lead

9:15 - 9:50 - Panel: Is reusable identity the key to a streamlined digital economy?

In recent years there has been growing excitement around the concept of reusable identity. With various pilots emerging from the financial services sector are we starting to see this vision come to life? How can reusable credentials enhance the convenience identity verification processes for customers? What will drive greater interoperability between financial providers and more broadly across the digital economy? How is digital identity regulation evolving at a domestic and international level?

9:50 - 10:30 - Panel: The threats and opportunities of the AI revolution

As AI continues to develop at an exponential rate it’s no surprise the technology is front of mind for financial institutions. AI offers the opportunity to strengthen identity verification and fraud detection capabilities but, unfortunately, can also be leveraged by bad actors to increase the effectiveness of scams and deception. As fear and misinformation meet genuine risk, how are financial institutions addressing potential threats whilst embracing an AI-centric future?

  • Paola Cristina Nuñez Ameri, Chief Country Compliance Officer, Citi
  • Antons Tocilins-Ruberts, Data Scientist, Starling Bank

Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee before joining the final panel sessions or roundtables of the day.

11:00 - 11:20 - Keynote: Delivering inclusive digital onboarding experiences without opening the door to fraudsters

Consumers are demanding fast, friction-free online experiences – from e-signing to age verification, account creation and services. Yet, many businesses feel stuck with legacy journeys that exclude cohorts of the population and are vulnerable to fraudulent attacks using AI-generated deepfakes. What can the UK learn from countries that have implemented reusable digital ID created from banking data, to meet both regulation and customer needs? How is new UK regulation changing the future identity landscape and what will this mean for businesses?

  • Rob Kotlarz, Co-Founder and President, OneID
  • John Kostovski, Senior Product Manager, Identify, DocuSign

11:20 - 11:55 - Panel: The regulatory review

Financial institutions are required to navigate a complex legal landscape around digital identity, ensuring compliance with data protection and customer due diligence regulations. What are the key pieces of legislation establishing standards for identity verification? How are trust frameworks ensuring consistency and interoperability, whilst increasing adoption across the industry? What does the regulatory road ahead look like?

  • Julie Gibelin, Senior Manager, Information Security Governance, N26
  • Victoria Baines, Policy Advisor, Digital Identity, DSIT
  • Milan Khan, Senior Product Manager, Okta
  • Alison McDowell, Co-Founder & Director, Beruku Identity

11:55 - 12:30 - Panel: Navigating a new era of KYC and KYB

Legacy processes for identity proofing are unsustainable in a digital world. How can financial providers gain a competitive advantage by streamlining KYC and KYB experiences to improve customer satisfaction and reduce operational burden? Which technologies can help to identify fraudsters and threat actors at the onboarding stage? Are we seeing a shift towards perpetual verification, building up a real-time picture of risk throughout the customer lifecycle?

  • James Coveney, Head of Data Science, Cashplus Bank
  • Azy Shojaeian, VP Compliance & Risk, MLRO, Pockit
  • David Awit, Director of Sales, Fourthline
  • Warren Tomlinson, Director, Financial Crime Compliance, ClearBank
  • Rob Moffat, Senior Technical Architect, FINOS (Moderator) 

12:30 - 13:00 - Panel: Understanding vulnerability: Safeguarding customers against financial scams

With instances of APP fraud, investment scams, and money muling on the rise and regulatory changes set to shift the burden of liability away from consumers, the threat facing financial institutions is significant. What kinds of personal circumstances can make customers particularly vulnerable to these forms of attack? How can innovation enable suspicious behaviour to be flagged and monitored more effectively? What role does education have to play in prevention?

  • Claire Simpson, Senior Manager, The Payment Systems Regulator

Find out what to expect from the afternoon ahead.

Laura Camplisson, Future Identity Portfolio Lead

14:05 - 14:20 - Fireside Chat: Finding the silver lining: Identity and the cloud

The continued growth of cloud-based services has the potential to significantly improve how organisations manage identity and access, but also exposes new risks which must be addressed. How can cloud identity benefit user experience, security, scalability and compliance? What are the various routes to adoption? How are bad actors adapting to work around improved controls and how can financial institutions counter new threats?

  • Peter Smith, Chief Information Security Officer, Allica Bank
  • Ivan Djordjevic, Principal Security Advisor, Salesforce (Moderator)

14:20 - 15:00 - Panel: Identity and payments: What’s next?

Customers today have come to expect fast and seamless omnichannel experiences. The need to verify identity to complete an online payment journey causes delays and can contribute to reduced conversion rates. How can financial institutions and retailers leverage innovation to streamline the payments process whilst ensuring compliance and protection against fraud? What changes will developments like Confirmation of Payee, the EU Digital Identity Wallet and PSD3 bring?

Geopolitical changes and economic instability, together with the increasingly sophisticated techniques leveraged by criminals pose significant challenges to financial institutions. How can innovation strengthen due diligence and transaction monitoring approaches? What role does data sharing play in combatting financial crime and how do we ensure customer data is protected? What emerging threats should financial institutions be prepared to tackle?
