A Risk & Compliance Conference Worth Talking About...

Enrique Ocon, CAFCA
Enrique Ocon, CAFCA
BSA Compliance QA Senior Manager - Choice Bank
Just wrapped up two inspiring days at The Fintech Risk & Compliance Forum. The biggest takeaway? It's time to reframe compliance - not as a cost center, but as strategic cost avoidance and a powerful selling point... When we lead with our compliance strength, we're not just checking boxes - we're building trust and driving business growth.

The Fintech Risk & Compliance Forum really differs from the conferences I've attended. I think that the quality…of participants was the shining star for me. The real highlight were the connections that were made. The networking opportunities were great. The moderated conversations were outstanding. I absolutely did not miss the presentations. I think that the vendor partners that sponsored the event were so apropos to the people in the room. I absolutely will be attending next year.

I think anyone involved in a financial institution or a fintech business line should attend. There is something for everyone. The cost was very reasonable, so we actually sent a number of our compliance staff as well as our payments and FinTech staff. We were able to take, as a group, a number of actionable items back to our office, and share those and collaborate on what we learned. It was a great mix of people to share ideas.

One of the things that makes The Fintech Risk & Compliance Forum so special is the incredible community it brings together. 🎯 The "symposium-style" format breakouts make the FRC a standout opportunity to dive deep into the most pressing topics in fintech risk and compliance. It's about real conversations, meaningful learning, and enduring connections that last well beyond the event.

I enjoyed the peer-to-peer and panel discussions far better than sitting and watching a presentation for two or three hours. I think there's more value add when you can hear somebody candidly speak about what they're living or what they're seeing. The highlights for me were… really understanding the mindset of where fintechs were at, where other sponsor banks were at, when it came to different topics like security or compliance. I think from a network perspective I got to meet several vendors. In fact, we're going to work with a few of them.
