About the Session

TradFi roadblocks have been erected quickly to prevent access to the financial system.  Firms need to know much more about underlying assets and beneficial ownership than ever  before as new ISO messaging standards take affect. On-boarding, KYC and sanctions screening teams are under pressure.  Discerning real negative news from disinformation requires carefully-tuned risk frameworks and clear gaps exist between customer, instrument, trade and payments data sets. How are RegTech solutions evolving to meet the needs of new TradFi and digital actors?
