Preparing for AMLR: what financial institutions need to know now

Europe's anti-money laundering framework is being fundamentally transformed.

The Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD6), and the creation of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) together represent the most significant shift in EU financial crime compliance in decades. The introduction of harmonized rules and direct supervision of high-risk institutions set a higher bar for what good KYC looks like.

For banks, this brings about fundamental operational challenges. More frequent customer due diligence, richer beneficial ownership data, and the expectation of consistent, auditable processes across borders means that legacy KYC approaches will no longer be enough.

Join our expert panel as they break down what this regulatory shift means in practice, and what leaders can do now to build the foundations for scalable, future-ready compliance.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How AMLR, AMLD6, and AMLA work together — the key obligations each regulation introduces, how they interact, and the implementation timeline compliance leaders need to plan around

  • What changes for KYC — why the new framework demands more frequent reviews, greater volumes of structured, provenanced data, and a higher standard of beneficial ownership verification

  • How corporate digital identity (CDI) and AI-powered KYC can close the gap — practical steps financial institutions can take now to automate data collection, maintain continuous KYC profiles, and stay ahead of supervisory expectations

Whether you are assessing your current KYC infrastructure, building the internal case for transformation, or creating your AMLA readiness roadmap, this session will give you the clarity and practical guidance to move forward.
