DNB hosts financial crime supervision day for banks
De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) will host an Inhouse Day on financial crime supervision for the Dutch banking sector on October 29, 2026. The event aims to foster dialogue and provide insights into DNB's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) supervision.
Deep dive into DNB's methodology
Following last year's successful event, DNB is again inviting AML/CFT professionals to its Inhouse Day.
The event targets a diverse group of banking professionals, including junior and senior KYC analysts, quality reviewers, and compliance officers.
Participants will gain further insight into DNB's AML/CFT supervision, receive updates on the evolving regulatory landscape, and learn about practical supervisory perspectives.
Key topics include an introduction to DNB's Financial Crime Supervision department, covering its mandate and supervisory methodology.
Recent European regulatory initiatives, such as the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and the Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD), will also be discussed.
Insights from external stakeholders like FIU-NL and the Public Prosecution Service (OM) are also on the agenda, offering a broader perspective on financial crime combatting efforts within the Netherlands.
Workshops on practical challenges
The Inhouse Day will feature practical experiences and best practices related to Customer Due Diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, and sanctions compliance.
Interactive workshops will delve into key themes such as risk analysis, proportionality, and the effectiveness of AML/CFT measures.
Participants will have the opportunity to choose from a range of workshops, including Supranational Risk Assessment (SNRA) and National Risk Assessments (NRA), Operational Risk Analysis (SIRA), discrimination risks in AML/CFT, and proportionality and effectiveness in AML/CFT controls.
The afternoon program, conducted entirely in English, will conclude with a networking reception and a tour of De Nieuwe Schatkamer, allowing for direct exchange with DNB supervisors and peers.
Registration is open to employees of licensed banks based in the Netherlands, with places limited to ensure balanced representation.
Essential dialogue for evolving risks
This annual event underscores DNB's proactive stance in fostering compliance dialogue within a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
While practical insights are valuable, the limited attendance capacity might restrict broader industry impact.
Nevertheless, such direct engagement remains crucial for aligning supervisory expectations with banking sector realities.
