NextGen FinCrime Table Talks to deliver instant cross‑sector collaboration

By uniting banks, technology vendors, fintech innovators, online platforms, telecoms providers, and regulators on the same table, NextGen FinCrime is the only conference where senior leaders can operate within a fully formed cross‑sector network designed to mirror, and accelerate, the UK’s national ambitions.

The UK Government’s Fraud Strategy 2026–2029, released in March 2026, makes this expectation explicit. In their Ministerial Foreword, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Lord Hanson of Flint emphasised: “Strong collaboration between Government, law enforcement, industry and civil society is critical to this Strategy. As a crime that touches every part of our society, it is only right that every part of society joins together to fight fraud.

“This is not just about reducing crime; it is about restoring confidence. Every pound stolen through fraud is a pound not reinvested in our economy. Every victim is a reminder of why we must act. By delivering this Strategy, we will make the UK a safer place to live, work, and do business, and send a clear message to criminals: there is nowhere you can hide,” the report read.

Finextra’s response to this strategy is clear: by creating the space where that collaboration can happen and by ensuring disruption, safeguarding against and responding to this threat, attendees will be given the environment in which they can work together to design interventions that remove criminal opportunities before they can be exploited – and before they leave the event.

At 09:10, during the Icebreaker Table Talks, attendees immediately sit with the exact ecosystem the UK Fraud Strategy demands:

*   Banks,
*   Fintechs,
*   Telcos,
*   Online platforms,
*   Technology partners,
*   Regulators, and
*   Law enforcement.

This ensures that before the keynote even begins, participants are already operating as a cross‑sector fraud‑prevention unit, the core principle of the national Strategy. These discussions will identify vulnerabilities in current systems, highlight missed opportunities for early intervention, and establish intelligence‑sharing priorities that align with national policy. In other words: the Fraud Strategy’s vision becomes reality within the first 40 minutes of the conference.

By assembling every part of the ecosystem and giving leaders a forum for open, rapid, multi‑disciplinary collaboration, NextGen FinCrime aims to accelerate the UK’s transition from policy promises to practical impact. Register here to take part.
