As criminals collaborate across borders and technologies evolve, financial crime is becoming more sophisticated and difficult to detect. Institutions can no longer rely on traditional controls alone. At the FinCrime Defence Symposium 2026, industry leaders from banking, law enforcement and intergovernmental organisations explored what stronger financial crime defence looks like in practice. Key insights included: 🤝 Public-private partnerships must move beyond information sharing towards measurable outcomes and effectiveness. 🔍 Frontline intelligence plays a critical role in identifying emerging threats early and strengthening organisational resilience. 🌐 Faster intelligence sharing, coordinated interventions and new approaches to emerging technologies, including AI, will be essential as threat landscapes become more complex. The discussion reinforced that effective financial crime defence depends not only on stronger controls, but also on deeper collaboration across the ecosystem. We thank Loretta Yuen, Daniel Ng, Sungyong Kang, Christopher Grimson and Leigh James, moderated by Victoria Ting, for sharing practical perspectives grounded in operational experience.
