Global AML Trends 2026

Every year brings new regulations. Every month introduces new financial crime typologies. Each day raises the bar for compliance professionals.

As regulators sharpen their focus on effectiveness and criminals adopt AI, deepfakes, synthetic identities, and increasingly sophisticated laundering techniques, organisations can no longer rely on yesterday’s compliance programmes to solve tomorrow’s risks.

On that note, we hosted a webinar exploring the global AML/CFT trends influencing compliance in 2026.

What attendees gained:

This webinar connected the dots between global regulatory shifts and the decisions compliance teams needed to make. During the session, attendees gained insights into:

• Global AML developments influencing compliance in 2026
• How FATF’s focus on effectiveness is changing regulatory expectations
• What the UAE’s latest AML/CFT reforms mean for regulated businesses
• The rise of AI-enabled financial crime, from deepfakes to synthetic identities
• Why virtual assets and geopolitical risks are becoming harder to ignore

We were pleased to welcome attendees to a thoughtful discussion on the trends and regulatory developments influencing the future of AML compliance.
