ACAMS Eurasia Chapter April 2025 Virtual Event: Sanctions and Correspondent Banking: Compliance Challenges

Overview

Join us for a live webinar in Russian, organized by the ACAMS Eurasia Chapter. At the event, expert speakers will share their insights and address key challenges that compliance professionals face in the evolving landscape of correspondent banking and sanctions compliance. The discussion will focus on increasing scrutiny from correspondent banks, the risks of de-risking, and practical strategies for maintaining access to the global financial system.

Experts will cover important issues, such as: 

• The key factors leading to the refusal to open or the closure of correspondent accounts, and best practices to maintain access to global financial networks. 
• How financial institutions can minimize the risk of being "de-risked" due to sanctions-related concerns and build trust with international correspondent banks. 
• How banks should adapt their sanctions policies and transaction monitoring systems to meet the evolving requirements of correspondent banks. 
• Common compliance officer mistakes that trigger increased scrutiny from correspondent banks—and how to avoid them. 
• The impact of recent sanctions developments on correspondent banking relationships, particularly in high-risk jurisdictions. 

This session will provide compliance professionals with practical insights into managing sanctions risks, improving correspondent banking relationships, and navigating today’s increasingly complex financial environment.

Kindly note that webinar will be conducted in Russian and simultaneous translation support will not be available.
