Payment service providers (PSPs) act as a bridge for value transfer between the crypto and fiat ecosystems. And while they play a critical role in delivering on the promise of crypto—value transfer at the speed of the internet—they also face unique risks because of their seat at the intersection of digital assets and traditional payment modalities.
So how can compliance teams at PSPs and fintechs maintain a balanced risk appetite without losing out on customer opportunities?
Join Angela Ang (Senior Policy Advisor, APAC at TRM Labs), Aaron Chua (Regional Head of Compliance at StraitsX), and Rodrigo Peiteado (Financial Crime Intelligence Lead at BVNK) for an in-depth discussion about managing risk at scale in the world of crypto payments. They’ll explore:
• The diversity and complexity of risks faced by PSPs
• Strategies for balancing risk with opportunity
• How blockchain intelligence can be used to increase efficiency and detect financial crime
