ACAMS New York Chapter March 2026 Event: Fraud, AML, & the Collapse of Silos: In the Age of AI and Instant Payments

Overview

Fraud and AML are no longer separate problems—they are different moments in the same event.

What starts as a scam or social engineering attempt can move through real-time payment rails, into mule accounts, and across borders or digital assets in a matter of hours. The speed, scale, and structure of financial crime have changed—and legacy operating models have not kept pace.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is compounding both the risk and the response. Criminal networks are using AI to generate more convincing fraud at scale, while financial institutions are under pressure to deploy equally advanced detection capabilities—often across fragmented systems and teams.

This ACAMS New York Chapter session, sponsored by Fivecast and LSEG, brings together perspectives from payments, intelligence, and financial data to examine what this convergence means in practice—not theory.

The discussion will focus on:

• Where fraud activity transitions into AML exposure—and why that distinction is breaking down
• The operational impact of real-time payments and compressed investigation timelines
• How AI is actively being used in fraud typologies today—and where detection is still lagging
• The role of external intelligence, data, and network visibility in modern investigations
• What needs to change inside financial institutions to respond effectively
