Webinar: KYC in 2026 – Trends, Risks & Regulatory Expectations to Watch

January 22, 2026 @ 11:00 am - 11:30 am

Description:

As we enter 2026, the KYC landscape is undergoing rapid transformation driven by new technologies, shifting geopolitical risks, and evolving regulatory priorities. For compliance teams, staying ahead of these changes is essential to maintaining robust customer due diligence, delivering effective onboarding, and meeting regulatory expectations. 

In this 30-minute webinar, our experts will break down the key trends, emerging risks, and regulatory developments that firms should be preparing for in 2026. Whether you’re refining your KYC framework, planning technology investment, or strengthening your AML controls, this session will equip you with clear, actionable insights for the year ahead.

In this session we will explore:

  • The top KYC trends shaping 2026: including AI-powered verification, digital identity adoption, and the increasing fragmentation of global data and sanctions regimes.
  • Regulatory expectations for 2026: what the FCA is focusing on, anticipated thematic reviews, and upcoming rule changes likely to impact due diligence.
  • The new risk environment: key geopolitical and financial crime threats influencing customer assessments, sanctions checks, and ongoing monitoring.
  • How KYC is evolving beyond onboarding: strengthening ongoing monitoring, trigger event reviews, and lifecycle risk management in line with FCA expectations.

  • Compliance Officers and Heads of Compliance preparing their 2026 strategies
  • MLROs and AML Analysts responsible for KYC oversight and implementation
