About the Summit
The 3rd Edition of the AFSC Summit – East Africa (Africa Fraud, Security & Compliance Summit) is the region’s foremost event dedicated to tackling fraud intelligence, financial security, and regulatory compliance challenges unique to the East African banking and financial sectors.
As East Africa undergoes rapid digital transformation and financial innovation—with booming mobile money, virtual assets, and EAC cross-border payments—the need for robust defenses against sophisticated fraud, cyber threats, and financial crime has never been greater. This summit convenes senior banking executives, regulators, compliance leaders, and fintech pioneers from Kenya and across the region to address hyper-localized risks, AI-powered fraud detection, and evolving regulatory landscapes.
Through compelling keynotes, expert panel discussions, and real-world case studies, attendees will obtain actionable strategies to strengthen their security infrastructures and compliance frameworks. Hands-on workshops will provide practical tools for mitigating financial crime and enhancing institutional resilience. The AFSC Awards will celebrate outstanding achievements in fraud prevention and risk management, spotlighting organizations setting the standard for East Africa’s secure financial future.
Join us for the 3rd Edition of AFSC East Africa in Kenya, where thought leaders and innovators come together to build a safer, smarter, and more compliant financial ecosystem—at the heart of the region’s digital revolution.
