E167: What keeps payments players up at night?

According to Money20/20, the EMEA region accounts for 48% of the world's outbound cross-border payment flows — just under half!

Now put yourself in the position of assessing those billions of transactions, moving at incredible speed, for financial crime risks and suspicious patterns. Sounds like a headache, right?

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by René Hofer, CRO/CCO & Branch Director Germany at Holvi, to ask: "What keeps payments players up at night?"

The pair discuss: the challenges facing compliance professionals in the payments industry, the solutions that could make a difference, and all the industry drama too.
