SBC Summit 2026 adds Global Payment Compliance to the Payment Expert Summit agenda

SBC Summit 2026 has added a Global Payment Compliance segment to its Payment Expert Summit track, putting AML (Anti-Money Laundering), fraud controls, and regulatory scrutiny directly on the payments agenda. For high-risk operators and their PSPs, that is the whole job description in one room: move money fast, keep regulators satisfied, and do not turn the checkout into a hostage situation.

1. The segment will run alongside the Fintech segment on Tuesday, 29 September, and the Crypto & Blockchain segment on Thursday, 1 October, as part of the exclusive Payment Expert Summit stage. SBC says the format will bring together operators, compliance specialists, payments leaders, legal experts, and technology providers to discuss how companies can strengthen payments, combat threats, and adapt to changing regulatory expectations.
2. Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said payment compliance has become “one of the industry’s biggest balancing acts,” because operators are expected to strengthen fraud prevention, AML oversight, and regulatory supervision while still delivering the fast, frictionless payment experience players expect. His point is the practical one PSPs know well: compliance that adds too much friction gets blamed just as quickly as weak controls.
3. The first AML-focused session is AML on the Move: Continuous Monitoring in the Modern Gaming Landscape. Luis Carlos Pérez, Director of AML at Lottofy, Gintarė Wycherley, Senior Solutions Engineer at SEON, James Boyles, Player Experience Director at Evoke, Carmelo Mazza, CEO of Betaland/Enjoybet, and moderator George Rover, Managing Partner at Princeton Global Strategies, will look at how automation and smarter risk detection can strengthen compliance without creating unnecessary player friction.
4. The agenda then turns to Africa with Cross-Border Compliance: Navigating AML in African Markets. Maruf Lawal, Operations Director at MOKO Afrika, Adenike Oyebamiji, Legal Compliance for West Africa at Velex Group, and moderator Maleek Oyiza, Head of Legal and Compliance at Tradabets, will examine how operators can work across different jurisdictional requirements while keeping payment flows smooth, as mobile money and alternative payment methods keep accelerating growth across the continent.
5. Another session, How Much Data Is Too Much?, will focus on the tension between compliance and player privacy. James Myles, Head of Compliance at Dragonbet, Miguel Godinho, Senior Legal and Compliance Advisor at Betclic Group, Vana Demetriou, Legal and Compliance Director at ZENOBET, and moderator Jochen Biewer, Managing Director at Chevron Group, will discuss how operators can build processes that satisfy regulators without overcollecting data.
