Connected Intelligence for a Stronger Financial Crime Defense 

22 October 2026 | 10 AM EDT | 3 PM BST | 4 PM CEST

Fraud controls detect and prevent unauthorized or deceptive financial activity by enforcing risk-based rules to intercept suspicious behavior before it’s cleared. These controls become exponentially more effective when they move beyond single-institution data to collaborative intelligence. By pooling transaction and identity signals across banks, PSPs and merchants, financial crime teams can expose fraud rings, synthetic identity networks and mule accounts that fragmented data might miss.  

This session explores smarter, collaborative intelligence. Industry experts will discuss how the Actimize Insights Network enables cross-institutional visibility, using shared data from more than 1,000 financial institutions to surface and respond to counterparty risk in real-time. Built for fraud and AML teams navigating an unforgiving industry, we’ll outline how network intelligence can create a collective defense.  

What You’ll Learn: 

• How siloed fraud programs overlook critical risk on the other side of the transaction  
• What privacy and governance safeguards make cross-institutional data use possible 
• How financial institutions can overcome the barriers of intelligence sharing  
• Why new payee and first-time transaction scams bypass controls and what it takes to catch them 
• Practical steps for evaluating and adopting network intelligence in financial crime programs
