It sometimes goes under the radar, but prudential risk may just be one of the most important parts of fintech today.

Why you should attend

Regulations around safeguarding are evolving. The FCA found a 65% average shortfall in safeguarded funds for firms that became insolvent between 2018 and 2023, suggesting pre-existing measures have not had the desired outcome.


New guidance on fraud prevention and protection of customer funds took effect in late 2024, and sweeping enhancements to how PSPs and e-money firms must segregate, report and audit safeguarded funds will take hold from May 2026, to cut shortfalls and bolster customer confidence.


These developments are positive but do present challenges. How do you keep up with regulatory requirements, safeguard customer funds and still scale effectively? We aim to cover that in this webinar.
