From compliance to innovation: How North American identity regulations are reshaping fraud prevention

Identity fraud continues to cost North America billions each year, prompting regulators in Canada and the US to strengthen identity verification frameworks. This webinar examines how evolving requirements are reshaping fraud prevention and the broader regulatory landscape. It also addresses how fraudsters are using increasingly sophisticated methods, including AI driven techniques, to bypass traditional controls as digital services expand.

The session outlines why identity verification is a priority for authorities, including Canada’s FINTRAC and PCMLTFA requirements and the US Stop Identity Fraud and Identity Theft Act. It also discusses practical strategies for financial institutions to move beyond baseline compliance and use regulatory change to strengthen trust and reduce fraud.
