2025 Future of Fintech: Regulatory Environment, Fraud, and M&A
October 29, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Event details
Don’t miss our next installment of the “Future of Fintech” webinar series on Oct. 29. Our financial services consulting professionals will unpack three central themes shaping the remainder of 2025 and beyond.
We’ll begin with a look at evolving regulatory and enforcement trends and explore what we’re seeing in the market, what the regulators are focused on, and how banks and fintechs can anticipate shifts heading into 2026.
Next, we’ll turn our attention to fraud, highlighting how financial services organizations, including fintechs, are responding to increasingly sophisticated attacks such as synthetic identity fraud, account takeovers, and fraud-as-a-service models. We’ll revisit key insights from an earlier session and provide updates on the tools, data, and collaboration methods being used to bolster defenses.
Finally, we’ll close with a snapshot of 2025 fintech M&A activity, including what’s driving consolidation, capital movement, and investment strategy pivots and what those developments mean for strategic positioning in the year ahead.
From heightened regulatory scrutiny to fraud-as-a-service schemes and major consolidation across the market, the need for actionable insights from banking, fintech, and financial services professionals has never been more critical.
Attendees will leave with practical insights to help evaluate opportunity, defend value, and prepare for an evolving compliance and competitive landscape.
