On 22 April 2026, AMLYZE together with the ACAMS Baltics Chapter and partners will host the FinCrime Fighters Breakfast in Vilnius, bringing together AML/CFT professionals, regulators, fintech leaders, and industry experts for a practical discussion on the EU’s evolving anti-financial crime framework.
The session will focus on the real-world implications of AMLR, AMLA, and the future of AML in the Baltics. As the EU’s new regulatory architecture takes shape, financial institutions are preparing for a new phase of compliance expectations. With AMLR introducing directly applicable rules across the EU and AMLA strengthening supervisory coordination, the impact is expected to go far beyond regulation itself, influencing how AML/CFT functions operate in practice.
The discussion will explore what these changes mean for financial institutions across key areas such as digital identity, onboarding, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, data management, reporting, and supervisory coordination. It will also look at how firms can adapt their AML frameworks to remain compliant while avoiding unnecessary complexity and maintaining operational efficiency.
The event will feature a keynote by Janis Kaulins, ACAMS Baltics Chapter Board Member and Europe Central Financial Services Industry Leader – Forensics & Financial Crime at EY, who will share insights from EY’s AMLA survey, including supervisory expectations, industry perceptions, and upcoming challenges. The programme will also include a panel discussion with senior practitioners, including Airida Prenskiene, Eglė Kontautaitė, and Alexandre Pinot, followed by a live Q&A with participants.
Taking place at K29 Building, Vilnius, the breakfast session will offer attendees an opportunity to gain practical insight into one of the most important regulatory shifts in European financial crime compliance, while also connecting with peers from across the Baltic AML/CFT community.
