Fintelekt AML Leadership Conclave (Philippines) 2026

7 October 2026
9.00 am to 5.00 pm

The most valuable AML insights don’t come from regulations alone. They come from conversations between those responsible for implementing them. Fintelekt’s AML Leadership Conclave Philippines 2026 will create that platform, bringing together regulators, compliance leaders and industry experts to discuss emerging risks, regulatory priorities and practical solutions for the Philippine market.

As a specialist knowledge partner that has trained and engaged financial crime professionals across Asia for over two decades, Fintelekt’s focus is simple: helping institutions learn from one another, share good practices and strengthen AML effectiveness through meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

Panel Discussion: From Compliance to Effectiveness: Preparing for the 2027 APG Mutual Evaluation

As the Philippines prepares for the 2027 APG Mutual Evaluation, financial institutions must demonstrate that their AML/CFT frameworks are not only technically compliant but also effective in identifying, mitigating and reporting financial crime risks. Regulators will increasingly expect evidence that risk-based controls are embedded into day-to-day operations and delivering measurable outcomes. This panel will explore how institutions can strengthen governance, improve AML effectiveness and build a culture of continuous readiness ahead of the next assessment.

Networking Lunch

2.15 pm - 3.15 pm

Panel Discussion: Managing AML Risks in Digital Banking and Payments

The Philippines’ rapid adoption of digital banks, e-wallets, instant payments and fintech has transformed financial services while creating new opportunities for fraud and money laundering. Money mule networks, scam proceeds and high-velocity digital transactions are emerging as key AML risks. With the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), the Third National Risk Assessment, and evolving expectations from the BSP and AMLC, institutions must strengthen real-time monitoring, integrate fraud and AML controls, and manage digital financial crime without compromising innovation and customer experience. This panel will explore practical strategies for achieving that balance.

3.15 pm - 4.15 pm

Panel Discussion: AML Priorities for High-Risk Sectors

The Philippines’ Third National Risk Assessment highlights that money laundering risks are not evenly distributed across the financial system. Sectors such as casinos, money service businesses, virtual asset service providers, real estate and other designated non-financial businesses and professions continue to present heightened risks that require tailored controls and enhanced supervision. This panel will examine the evolving regulatory expectations for higher-risk sectors and discuss practical approaches to strengthening compliance while supporting legitimate business activity.
