Join Shilo Grayson, Regulatory Strategy Specialist at KYC360, for a focused discussion on balancing sanctions volatility and screening efficiency in 2026. Drawing on her background in the US national security and intelligence community, Shilo explores how rapidly shifting sanctions regimes, increasing divergence globally, and rising enforcement expectations are reshaping sanctions compliance. Secondary sanctions exposure remains widely misunderstood, particularly where indirect ownership and control risks intersect. At the same time, screening teams are under pressure to manage rising alert volumes, reduce false positives and demonstrate a defensible framework to regulators. Name matching alone is no longer sufficient where complex beneficial ownership structures and opaque networks obscure control. This session outlines practical steps to strengthen sanctions screening, manage secondary exposure and maintain operational efficiency in a volatile environment. Hosted on Acast.

In December 2025, Nationwide Building Society was fined £44,078,500 by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for deficiencies in its financial crime systems and controls. The FCA identified serious weaknesses in Nationwide’s AML framework between 1 October 2016 and 1 July 2021, including shortcomings in customer due diligence, customer risk assessment, and transaction monitoring. Nationwide was also aware that some personal current accounts were being used for business purposes, but lacked an adequate framework to manage the associated risks. One serious case involved a customer who received £27.36m in fraudulent Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme payments, including £26.01m deposited over just eight days. £820,687 remains unrecovered.This podcast explores the FCA’s findings, the specific control gaps that led to significant enforcement action, and the practical lessons for financial institutions.

Drawing on her background in the US national security and intelligence community, Shilo discusses why 2026 is set to be a year of heightened scrutiny for KYC and AML. Customer risk shifts faster than periodic review cycles. Illicit finance is fragmenting into smaller, harder-to-spot flows. Sanctions continue to change quickly, and not always in sync across jurisdictions. AI is accelerating both sides of financial crime, enabling more scalable deception while raising expectations for explainable, auditable AI-powered controls. Discover the consequences of these changes, and the practical steps firms can take to stay ahead in 2026. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join Shilo Grayson, Regulatory Strategy Specialist at KYC360, for an examination of the operational, cultural and governance failures that led to Monzo receiving a £21 million FCA fine for serious AML breaches. Drawing on her background in the US national security and intelligence community, Shilo breaks down how illicit finance networks exploit weak controls, what Monzo got wrong at each stage of the customer lifecycle, and why similar structural issues have surfaced at other fast-growth digital banks such as Starling Bank.

Join Stephen Platt, CEO and Founder of KYC360, and Stephen Kohn, Partner at Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto LLP, for an exclusive replay of their session at the KYC360 Conference, where they share expert insights into the evolution of U.S. whistleblower legislation.A key development in recent years is the recognition by the United States government that corruption undermines much more than personal wealth or efficient markets. In 2022, the US introduced a National Strategy to Counter Corruption globally, a comprehensive initiative involving all major arms of government, including the State Department, Justice Department, Defence Department, and representatives from fifteen federal cabinet offices. Together, they undertook a systematic review of the threat corruption poses.Their conclusion was unequivocal: establishing the fight against corruption is now considered a core United States security interest. This strategy directly links the destabilising effects of corruption, including the erosion of democratic institutions, the spread of authoritarianism and broader societal harm, along with the impact on individuals, who remain the principal victims.
