The 6th Nordic Fintech Research Symposium will focus on how academia, fintechs, larger financial institutions and authorities can collaborate on fighting financial fraud with a special focus on Anti Money Laundering (AML) by applying knowledge from state-of-the-art research and advanced industry solutions.

For the 2024 Symposium Copenhagen Fintech has worked with The Department of Computer Science at The University of Copenhagen to bring you a full day program delivered by world renowned researchers and industry experts. We promise that the symposium will be a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration.

Agenda

Key research themes will be application of advanced technology to address technical challenges such as:

• Managing the sheer volume and velocity of transactions
• Securing data quality and integration
• Balancing data privacy, anonymity issues and regulatory compliance
• Reducing false positives
• Managing and replacing legacy systems to fight AML
• Handling cyber security risks

We will also adress measures to fight AML from a soceital and ethical perspectives and how we through partnerships can improve AML systems in banks to make them cheaper, faster and better and what measures are needed on a more systemic level to get there.
