“It was a great pleasure participating at the event”

Head of Financial Crime & MLRO, Middle East

“It was a pleasure to attend and speak at the RegTech Conference last week, great discussions and insights shared across the industry! I highlighted how evolving regulations have shaped banks' compliance functions: stronger compliance teams, greater accountability at senior levels, and significant investment in technology for monitoring, screening, and reporting. These efforts have strengthened compliance culture across the sector. Banks are now more risk-aware and have better structured risk assessments particularly in areas like Proliferation Financing, where the UAE is showing strong leadership. Overall, continuous regulatory evolution and public/private dialogue have collectively raised the bar for compliance and governance in the banking sector.”

Advisory that Accelerates Growth

“What a day at #RegTech2025! This year's conference reaffirmed one thing: regulatory technology isn't the future. It's the now. As Gold Sponsor, we were proud to stand at the intersection of compliance, innovation, and governance. Our thanks to Cogent Solutions Event Management and the entire RegTech community for creating a space where real issues are addressed - from AI in compliance to virtual asset oversight. Special thanks to our Director, Michael Wharton, for his session on 'RegTech at the Core of Virtual Asset Governance', spotlighting the frameworks, risks, and realities shaping our digital economy. To all who stopped by Booth 6, thank you. Let's keep the conversation going.”
