Arab Bank provided strategic sponsorship for the Arab Banks Union forum ‘Employing Artificial Intelligence in Combating Money Laundering and Terror Financing: Opportunities, Risks, and Future Path’.

The forum, held under patronage of Central Bank of Jordan Governor Adel Sharkas and organised by the Arab Banks Union in cooperation with the Central Bank and Association of Banks in Jordan, brought together policymakers, experts, and financial leaders, alongside representatives from central banks and regulatory bodies across several Arab countries.

Running 1–2 September, the event features sessions by central and commercial banks addressing themes such as AI and the future of financial crime prevention, smart financial systems, risk management efficiency, cybersecurity and digital resilience, digital financial crimes and emerging technologies, AI in AML/CFT, and regulatory technology and supervisory innovation.

Arab Bank said its sponsorship reflects its ongoing support for regional and international efforts to fight financial crime, its commitment to global compliance best practices, and its contribution to dialogue on opportunities and challenges of adopting advanced technologies, particularly AI, in strengthening financial crime prevention frameworks.
