Most FinCrime events are built around speakers. This one is built around the room. 

Following a successful launch in 2025, the ICA FinCrime & Banking Forum returned for 1.5 days of closed-door discussion bringing together senior UK and EU banking financial crime leaders. Hosted by ICA, the Forum was designed to create space for candid peer exchange, operational insight and cross-border discussion at the highest level. 

Held under the Chatham House Rule, the Forum combined perspectives from senior financial crime leaders, operational case studies and peer-led discussion centred on the strategic and operational challenges shaping the sector today. 

200+ senior 2LOD and 1LOD banking financial crime leaders came together to examine the latest financial crime trends and find practical solutions together. Whilst gaining the connections and strategies they needed to stay ahead.
