Fraud FS Summit

15 October 2026 | London

Fraud has never been higher on the agenda across financial services, public policy and law enforcement, with organised criminal networks, technology-enabled attacks and cross-border scam activity placing greater pressure on financial institutions, customers and the wider economy. For fraud teams, the challenge is no longer confined to detecting suspicious transactions within the institution’s own control environment. It now extends across the wider fraud lifecycle, from how criminals target and manipulate victims to how scam proceeds are moved, traced and recovered.

The Fraud FS Summit 2026 brings together senior fraud and financial crime leaders to examine how financial institutions can respond to this more complex environment. Through practical insight from across the industry, the summit will explore how firms are strengthening controls, adapting to regulatory expectations, improving intelligence sharing and building more resilient fraud strategies against increasingly organised and technology-enabled threats.
