Building on the panel's insights, the roundtables will explore how leading banks can build trust into agentic AI adoption across know your customer (KYC) processes, underpinned by structured, auditable, and lineage-tracked data.

 

Each session is an exclusive, interactive discussion with senior banking and financial services peers, held under the Chatham House Rule.
