SUMMARY:AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference
DESCRIPTION:11TH ANNUAL AML & FINANCIAL CRIME SOUTHERN AFRICA CONFERENCE 2026 \nThe annual Anti-Money Laundering & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference is back on the calendar this year and will take place for the 11th time. \nAfter years of remediation programmes\, technology advances\, lookbacks\, updating local and international standards and ever-increasing policies\, many companies\, especially in the financial sector will hope that 2026 and beyond will be more of the same. \nBut here is the bad news…… It will not! \nCompared to only five years ago\, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) in 2026 has shifted from a static\, rule-based\, manual documentation process to a dynamic\, AI-driven\, real-time risk management framework. \nRemember criminals are clever people who will find new avenues all the time to overcome hurdles in their way. \nKey changes include the mainstreaming of artificial intelligence\, stricter global regulations targeting beneficial owners\, expanded coverage of digital assets\, and the integration of fraud detection with AML systems. \nAcross the world and southern Africa anti-money laundering (AML) is shifting from a defensive compliance exercise into a strategically scrutinised capability\, judged on outcomes\, not effort. This article focuses on what is genuinely new\, not recycled advice. \nWe are at the cutting edge. \nDespite significant progress in developing a robust AML framework\, South Africa still faces challenges in implementing and enforcing its regulations. Limited resources\, capacity constraints\, and the need for better coordination among regulators and law enforcement agencies have been identified as key obstacles to effective enforcement. \nThis year’s programme will address all the important issues mentioned above. Our speaker panel includes representatives from the most important organisations in the AML ecosystem. \nNearly 300 people attended this annual gathering last year. \nWe once again invite all potential delegates to this important and popular industry event.

SUMMARY:Future of Third-Party Risk Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:The ripple effect of unmanaged third-party risk – South Africa’s growing compliance challenge\n\n\n\n\nIn 2026\, third-party risk has become a major source of disruption as modern operating models depend on closely interconnected external providers. Over time\, it has evolved from a procurement concern into a business-wide issue that affects every department across financial institutions. \nThese dependencies are central to critical operations: \n\nCloud providers enable core banking platforms\, payment systems\, and customer-facing applications.\nFintech partners are integrated directly into product and service delivery.\nSoftware vendors support identity management\, fraud detection\, and transaction monitoring.\nWhen one provider fails\, the effects can quickly spread across multiple institutions\nCOFI is shifting accountability upward\n\nRegulators are responding to this rising systemic risk. Because in the eyes of the Regulator\, outsourcing is not delegation\, it is shared responsibility. \nSupervisory guidance now treats third-party risk as a matter of operational resilience. Too often\, technology suppliers (ironically the highest-risk category) are accepted at face value simply because everyone uses them. \nThis is where the compliance failures of tomorrow are incubating today.

SUMMARY:Cross Border Payments Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Cross-border payments in South Africa are evolving at an unprecedented pace\, driven by rapid digital innovation\, shifting customer expectations\, and an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. Regulated primarily by the South African Reserve Bank and its Financial Surveillance Department (FinServ)\, the sector continues to balance strict exchange control requirements with the growing demand for faster\, more seamless and more accessible international transactions. \nFrom traditional correspondent banking and SWIFT payments to ecommerce platforms\, card payments\, digital wallets\, fintech innovation and emerging stablecoin solutions\, the cross-border payments ecosystem has transformed significantly over the past few years. At the same time\, regional initiatives such as the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) are reshaping the future of intra-African trade and financial connectivity. \nAs cross-border payments remain critical to global trade\, investment and economic growth\, the market continues to expand on a remarkable scale. The combined traditional and crypto-enabled cross-border payments market approached an estimated value of one quadrillion dollars globally in 2024\, highlighting both the opportunities and risks associated with this rapidly changing environment. \nThe conference programme will address the challenges\, threats and opportunities existing in the current cross-border payments environment.

SUMMARY:AI Regulation & Compliance Confernece 2026
DESCRIPTION:AI Governance in Action: Managing Risk\, Compliance and Innovation\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the success of the previous AI Regulation & Compliance Conference that was hosted last year at Indaba Hotel\, 2025\, we are pleased to announce that\, Trade Conferences International (TCI) is bringing you this premier event\, It will once again bring together the driving forces and key-decision makers in the industry\, regulators\, policymakers\, financial institutions\, legal experts\, technology leaders\, academics\, and compliance professionals to address the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape. \nAs the use of AI increases across the business and financial sectors\, organizations are faced with a lot of pressure to ensure that innovation is balanced with responsible governance\, regulatory compliance\, ethical considerations\, and consumer protection. While South Africa continues to develop its approach to AI regulation\, global frameworks such as the European Union’s AI Act are shaping international standards and influencing policy discussions across Africa. \nThe AI Regulation & Compliance Conference will explore how organizations can navigate emerging regulatory requirements while leveraging AI to drive innovation\, operational efficiency\, and economic growth. With AI becoming a key element of decision-making\, risk management\, customer engagement\, fraud detection\, and financial services\, the need for thorough governance frameworks has never been greater. \nThe conference will examine key developments in AI regulation\, governance\, compliance\, data protection\, cybersecurity\, ethical AI\, algorithmic accountability\, transparency\, risk management\, and responsible innovation. Discussions will also focus on practical strategies for implementing AI governance structures that align with both local and international regulatory expectations. \nSouth Africa’s financial and banking sector leads the country in using Artificial Intelligence (AI). This market is expected to grow by 33.5% annually\, with Generative AI in finance projected to reach USD 311.1 million by 2033. South Africa is positioned to become a significant player in the global AI economy\, with AI expected to contribute largely to economic growth across South Africa and the African continent. As organizations increasingly integrate AI into their operations\, collaboration between regulators\, industry leaders\, and technology experts will be essential to building trustworthy\, secure\, and inclusive AI ecosystems. \nIn this light\, the programme will cover valuable insights\, and update in the current state of the AI Regulations landscape ranging from AI regulation\, governance\, compliance\, data protection\, cybersecurity\, ethical AI\, algorithmic accountability\, transparency\, risk management\, and responsible innovation. \nTrade Conferences International invites all prospective speakers to come and address at second instalment of the AI Regulations Conference which will be hosted on the 18-19 November 2026\, at the Indaba Hotel.
