This year’s event focused on all things natural capital, namely how to price and assess risk amid a variety of macroeconomic issues and new policies coming to the fore. The winning team’s solution – named Nature Delta – worked to connect nature risk in its multifaceted nature direct to companies, with the aim of ensuring that lending and target setting is conducted with risk in mind, as well as deciphering the jumble of complexity that comes with natural capital and leveraging actionable insights.

Fighting Fraud with Form3: The Importance of Inbound Transaction Screening

In Part 2 of this series, FinextraTV and Chris Oakley, Head of Fraud, Form3, highlights an upcoming substantial shift in the sector where due to incoming regulations from the PSR in the UK and PSD3 across the European Union, banks will have to double down on their focus on the risk associated with receiving a payment, not only sending a payment as has been the case historically. With current fraud screening methods built for outbound payments, after these regulations are mandated, receiving banks and sending banks will be forced to split liability for fraud and reimburse victims due to the PSR. This dichotomy must also lead to changes in the way that money mules are detected, which is usually also conducted retrospectively - where this convergence of fraud mitigation and anti-money laundering happens, risks need to be managed in real-time and a wider single view of the customer will be of paramount importance.

Considering Cloud? Here are the options for banks

Join FinextraTV at the Temenos Community Forum 2024 as Tony Coleman, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer, Temenos and Keith Lynch, Head of Enterprise Business, EMEA, Red Hat dive deep into why choice remains a fundamental tenet for the banking industry and how cloud migration is no exception. A bank in 2024 has many options, whether it is moving to public cloud, where technology stacks are supported by hefty players such as AWS or Azure, for example, or working with SaaS providers. The conversation also shifts to expanding on the benefits of private cloud where cloud-like deployments are established. The advantages of hybrid cloud are also prevalent, where one technology stack can run across multiple footprints, allowing organisations to build an app once, but deploy it everywhere with open source technology.

Green Finance Institute: 8-53% of the UK’s 7 Largest Banks’ Portfolios Exposed to Transition Risks

Join FinextraTV as Helen Avery, Director, Nature Programmes and GFI Hive at the Green Finance Institute, explains the methodology behind their recently released report, ‘Assessing the Materiality of Nature-Related Financial Risks for the UK’, authored by Nicola Ranger, Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, and Tom Oliver, University of Reading. The conversation explores the report findings which show how biodiversity loss and environmental degradation can create material risks for the UK economy and financial sector, placing a ‘value at risk’ (nVaR) on nature. This has helped identify that the deterioration of our natural environment could result in UK Gross GDP falling by as much as 12%, with sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and services being the most impacted and in turn, will correlate to the impact on bank portfolios. Dr Nicola Ranger will be a keynote speaker at Sustainable Finance Live on 8th October 2024 in London where the risks and opportunities that materialise across natural capital will be examined.
