Financial Crime Innovation Showcase

Building Agile Defenses Against AI-Driven Financial Crime

June 8, 2026 | CHARLOTTE, NC

Criminal enterprises are deploying generative and agentic AI at unprecedented scale. Financial institutions face a critical challenge: fraudsters are innovating faster than many financial crime fighters can respond.

This curated showcase features emerging fintechs (under $100M revenue) offering solutions to modernize fraud and AML operations, including:

  • Multilayered, AI-driven defense strategies to counter sophisticated attacks
  • Operational modernization through upskilling, process optimization, and strategic automation
