STRIPE’s Global Head of Financial Crimes Marc Fungard is to speak at the ‘European Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2023′ later this month, it was announced today.
The Summit is being held in Dublin on May 25 and is attracting the top global times in AML, AFC and Compliance.
Marc joined the fintech as Head of FinCrime earlier this year. He previously worked with HSBC and FinCEN.
The FinCrime chief manages a variety of anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions and other financial crime compliance initiatives, leading financial crimes compliance managers and teams in APAC, EMEA, LATAM and North America. The role also involves overseeing financial crimes programs in Stripe’s existing regulated businesses and the future expansion of our regulated products.

Another new speaker revealed this week is Mark Bishop, Head of Intelligence Operations at Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA). Mark will speak about UK sanctions on Russia in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.
