On 24 June 2026, South Africa's leading conference on FICA and anti-money laundering (AML) returns to The Forum, Bryanston, Johannesburg – bigger and better than its sold-out 2025 edition.
The nCino KYC Fighting Financial Crime Conference 2026 is the annual gathering of South Africa’s compliance leaders, regulators, investigators and financial institutions. It stands out as a conference known for sharing real case studies, regulatory insights and practical solutions to combat financial crime. To sum it up, it’s the place you want to be to find out all the latest news and developments surrounding all things FICA and AML related!
Fight back against financial crime
Financial crime doesn’t just make headlines. It erodes trust, destabilises economies and costs South Africa billions every year. With the country freshly off the FATF greylist and a new mutual evaluation already under way, the pressure on accountable institutions to get compliance right has never been higher.
If you’re an accountable institution still relying on guesswork to navigate FICA and AML obligations, consider this your wake-up call. The Fighting Financial Crime Conference 2026 is where South Africa’s compliance community comes to get real answers – from the people fighting financial crime on the ground.
No fluff. No recycled slides. Just the insights that matter.
What to expect (hint: it's not death by PowerPoint)
