The event highlights how strongly financial crime prevention is being shaped by technological innovation and new European regulatory initiatives – and the role RegTech companies like Regpit play in this context.
Key topics of the panel discussion
The panel, moderated by Prof. Dr. Hermann Schulte-Mattler, brought together perspectives from supervision, financial practice, and technology:
- Dr. Osman Saçarçelik, Global Head of Global Standards, Advisory & Governance AML/CTF, Commerzbank AG
- Daniel Thelesklaf, Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU Germany)
- Dr. Jacob Wende, CEO, Regpit
Three central questions were at the core of the discussion:
- What does effective prevention really mean under the new EU framework – from clear responsibilities to a lived culture of investigation and escalation?
- What role do new technologies such as RegTech play in making processes verifiable, efficient, and audit-proof?
- What are the most common challenges in practice – and how can they be overcome through better governance, training, and digital solutions?
The New EU AML Regulation: Challenge and Opportunity
With the establishment of the EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and the upcoming EU AML package, the industry is facing far-reaching regulatory changes.
The objectives are clear: stronger harmonization, greater transparency, and a more targeted fight against financial crime.
At the same time, pressure is increasing on institutions to make their processes more efficient while consistently meeting regulatory requirements. It becomes clear that automation, data quality, and integration capabilities are becoming key success factors in combating money laundering and fraud.
RegTech as a Key to Effective Prevention
The use of modern RegTech solutions makes it possible to reduce bureaucracy and significantly increase operational efficiency in KYC, monitoring, and reporting processes.
Technologies such as machine learning, process automation, and intelligent data analytics can:
- identify and assess risks faster,
- reduce false positives,
- ensure traceability and auditability,
- and significantly relieve compliance departments.
Instead of viewing compliance merely as a regulatory obligation, it becomes a strategic tool for risk management, trust, and reputation.
Technological Implementation as a Success Factor
Europe has the opportunity not only to lead in regulation but also in its technological implementation.
