KYC Unchained will be hosted at the Investec offices in Cape Town and will be an evening of strategic discussion, expert insight, and peer connection. It is designed to bring together senior leaders to tackle one of the most important and often misunderstood topics in modern finance.

As regulatory pressure mounts and expectations rise, South African institutions are being forced to rethink how they verify identity, prevent financial crime, and operate across increasingly complex global frameworks.

Structured around two focused panel sessions featuring distinguished speakers at the forefront of these issues, the event will explore how regulatory shifts are impacting South African businesses in a broader pan-African and global context, and how AI is redefining onboarding, identity, and trust. The evening offers a rare opportunity to engage with the leaders shaping the next chapter of financial infrastructure, innovation, and risk.

We’ll cover:

• How the Travel Rule is being applied in South Africa and what’s still unclear
• The Sunrise Issue and what it means for cross-border enforcement
• Where regulation, risk, and AI converge in onboarding workflows
• How institutions can balance automation with accountability in high-trust environments
