Ep #08: Efficiency, transparency and respect

Howard Wimpory (KYC Transformation Director, Encompass) joins Sean Vickers (CEO, Aurora) to delve into the challenges and misconceptions surrounding digital transformation in the banking industry. They discuss the importance of reimagining processes from start to finish, eliminating manual steps and implementing automated solutions, rather than piecemeal improvements.

We’re back with another episode of the RegTech 20/20 podcast, and are bringing something a little different, as we team up with our partners at Accuity for a joint episode focusing on all things KYC and digital transformation, exploring the successes, the challenges, and what the future may hold. We speak with Nick Ford, Encompass’ VP, Strategic Alliances, and Dal Sahota, who is currently VP of Bankers Almanac Risk and Compliance product propositions for Accuity.

After a break, we return with a special episode delving into research around the impact of regulations on bank valuations. Hear from the author, academic and Head of Delivery and Customer Success at Encompass, Dr Henry Balani, as well as Francis Gross, Senior Advisor at the European Central Bank, as they discuss the true effect of the regulatory landscape.

It’s our last episode of the year, and this time we explore the topic of Client Lifecycle Management - or CLM - and the role of RegTech in powering initiatives. We hear from Alex Dixon (Global Head of Client Lifecycle Management and KYC, Pega) and Jo Scanlan, who has worked at leading banks including ANZ, as they share their insights into the CLM process from a bank’s perspective, how they can get it right, and the value of RegTech.  And, as we all begin to look to 2021, we also ask Wayne Johnson (CEO and co-founder, Encompass) to reflect on the last 12 months and look at what lies ahead.

We’re back with another episode of RegTech 20:20 - the podcast demystifying RegTech in the UK, Australia and beyond. This month, we’re discussing what you need to know about Open Banking, as we look at its rise and relationship with RegTech. To do that, we speak with Gavin Littlejohn, who is Chairman of the Financial Data and Technology Association, and Jamie Leach, who founded Open Data Australia and will be giving us the perspective from Down Under.

We shed light on what it means to be ‘regulator ready’ and discuss the role of RegTechs in assisting businesses to meet their compliance obligations. Joining us to tell you what you need to know are our guests, financial crime expert Samantha Sheen and academic Daniel Gozman.

To mark Ada Lovelace Day, we speak to three women in RegTech who give their views on the industry now, and what we can expect in the future.

In this episode, the spotlight is firmly on the USA, as we take a deep dive into the financial crime landscape and what it is that makes it unique. Joining host Alex Ford are two people who know the industry inside out, Pawneet Abramowski (Chief Compliance Officer, CFSB) and Encompass’ Head of Delivery, Dr Henry Balani.

What do the terms efficiency, transparency and respect mean in RegTech? That’s what we discuss in this episode. First up, we hear from Kent Mackenzie and Sean Moore, of professional services network Deloitte, who delve into regulatory change, before Anastasia Dokuchaeva, Head of Partnerships at RegTech provider ClauseMatch, gives her take.

This time, Alex Ford is joined by Francesca Hopwood Road, Head of RegTech and Advanced Analytics at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to look at the industry from a regulator's perspective.
