VCO

DATE: 13 november 2025 | 16:00 – 19.15 
Location: KPMG, Amstelveen

The compliance landscape in financial services is evolving rapidly. Before delving into the specific challenges facing payment service providers (PSPs), the seminar will start with a broad overview of the key AML & FEC developments currently shaping compliance agendas across financial institutions. Following a review of major trends in anti-money laundering (AML) and financial economic crime (FEC), the focus will shift toward the increasingly complex environment in which PSPs operate.

PSPs are subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny, facing strict AML obligations under Dutch law, the practical challenges of monitoring payments conducted through agents, and additional layers of customer due diligence (CDD) required by the banks that maintain their accounts.

This event is designed to be forward‑looking and practical. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the main compliance priorities for 2026 and beyond, along with actionable insights for managing current challenges in the payments landscape. The seminar also provides an excellent opportunity to exchange perspectives with industry peers and subject‑matter experts.

The event will take place on Thursday 13 November 2025, and will be conducted in English.
