AML Practices: Best in Show
Laura Goldzung, AML Audit Services
The acquiring chain encompasses many processes, players, influencers, risks, and accepted practices. Some, not all, have a requirement to implement an anti-money laundering program while others find themselves voluntarily putting a program in place due to financial, bank, or other partner requests, but not requirements. Laura will present the benefits of having a program, whether required or voluntary, and how the ultimate goal of identifying suspicious activity will improve your business model.

Implications of Money Transmission Laws Beyond Regulatory Enforcement
Nicole Meisner, Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss P.C.
Payment companies are continually grappling with money transmission laws in the United States. Often, the focus is on the potential risk of regulatory enforcement if such laws apply. However, the ramification of these laws on payment companies can extend far beyond the regulatory authorities—particularly if the company is positioning for sale, merger or investment. Nicole Meisner from Jaffe Law will dive into these issues and other trends involving money transmission in the world of electronic payments.

What 2020 Tells Us About Regulators' Changing Expectations; Plus, Some Good News
Theresa Kananen, AGG
Ed Marshall, AGG
A global pandemic has not slowed the FTC’s enforcement actions against the payments industry. If anything, they’ve been accelerating, and the cases have shown more stringent expectations for underwriting and risk monitoring along with some new regulatory pet peeves. Our legal experts from AGG will address those developments, walk through some correlative changes to the ETA’s Guidelines, and then share some (really) good news about how the courts are stepping in to recalibrate the balance of regulatory power.
