Kenya’s financial-services sector is facing a new fraud and compliance reality. SIM-swap fraud, vulnerabilities across agent networks, growing consumer-protection expectations and closer scrutiny of how institutions prevent and respond to fraud are raising the stakes for banks, telcos, fintechs, payment providers, SACCOs and insurers. At the same time, fraud increasingly moves between institutions. Banks, mobile operators and payment providers often hold separate risk signals, making it difficult to act before stolen funds move. Stronger controls bring their own questions around privacy, cost, liability and financial inclusion.

This webinar brings together financial-crime, compliance and fraud-prevention experts to discuss what Kenya’s changing landscape means in practice - and what financial institutions should do next.

The session will cover:
– The latest fraud, regulatory and consumer-protection developments affecting Kenya’s financial-services sector
– How SIM swaps, agent networks, partner institutions and real-time payments are creating interconnected fraud exposure
– The growing institutional and personal accountability of compliance professionals when controls fail
– How financial institutions can share fraud signals and strengthen identity verification without compromising privacy
– The role of automation, orchestration and shared infrastructure in reducing fraud and managing rising compliance costs
– Whether you are reviewing your fraud controls, preparing for greater regulatory scrutiny or building a more scalable compliance framework, this session is designed to provide practical insights from experts working in the Kenyan market.
