Asia 2026 Fraud & Financial Crime Surge: Strategies for Resilience & Growth
ABOUT THIS EVENT
In 2026, Asia stands at the forefront of digital finance with explosive growth in real-time payments, superapps, embedded finance, and cross-border e-commerce. Yet this momentum is accompanied by a sharp escalation in sophisticated financial crime. AI-powered deepfakes, synthetic identity fraud, account takeovers, mule networks, and scam operations are exploiting millisecond transaction rails, driving losses that can reach several percent of revenue while increasing regulatory scrutiny and customer trust erosion across the region.
Leading digital banks, fintechs, payments providers, e-commerce platforms, travel & airline operators, hospitality groups, SaaS companies, and media & entertainment businesses are getting it right by investing in real-time detection, biometric verification, and tighter integration between fraud and AML teams. However, too many are still getting it wrong — relying on legacy batch monitoring, fragmented vendor solutions, siloed operations, underestimating third-party risks, and failing to allocate sufficient budgets for proactive, AI-resilient defences. The result is delayed response times, higher false positives, regulatory exposure, and lost competitive edge.
On 9 July 2026, Cxociety — in partnership with SEON will host a webinar designed to equip organisations Asia-focused strategies, real-world case studies, and forward-looking guidance to help your organization strengthen resilience, reduce losses, ensure regulatory alignment, and support sustainable growth.
Key discussion topics include:
- Pre-KYC onboarding risk mitigation: Explore advanced techniques to detect and prevent fraud before full KYC is completed
- Real-time fraud prevention in millisecond payment ecosystems: How to evolve from hours/days to real-time (or sub-second) decisioning across UPI, PromptPay, QR codes, and embedded finance.
- AI-driven threats and deepfake defence strategies: Tackle generative AI scams, voice/video impersonation, and automated attacks targeting Asia’s superapps and digital ecosystems
