The financial services landscape is transforming dramatically as the EU's Instant Payment Regulation takes effect, requiring payments to be processed in under 10 seconds. This seismic shift creates unprecedented challenges for compliance teams responsible for sanctions screening and transaction monitoring.
This episode brings together experts Eve Whittaker from LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Eglė Kontautaitė from AMALYZE to explore the complex implications of these new requirements. They break down the regulation's timeline, with banks now required to receive instant payments and soon needing to send them and offer verification of payee services by October 2025.
At the heart of this discussion is a fundamental tension between speed and security. The 10-second rule forces financial institutions to make binary accept-or-reject decisions without the luxury of freezing suspicious transactions for further review. This represents a radical departure from previous practices where compliance teams had more time to investigate potential risks. This could lead to higher rejection rates as organizations adopt lower risk appetites when forced to make split-second decisions.

This episode and the following description originally come from Lockstep Consulting's Making Data Better podcast.
A key actor in risk assessment is the data provider. These commercial operations aggregate and analyze the data produced by governments, enterprises, individuals, and even other data providers. All to feed today’s insatiable appetite for understanding who it is we are dealing with online.
In this Making Data Better episode, Steve and George are joined by Cindy Printer, Director, Financial Crime Compliance and Payments, at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. The company is a major data provider to government and enterprise; Cindy focuses her work on financial services firms and their need for regulatory compliance.
We discuss the granular nature of the data LexisNexis Risk Solutions offers its customers and the breadth of sources used to meet their needs. It’s astonishing.
Cindy makes the point, one we heartily agree with at Lockstep, that risk is specific, a concern for each individual entity and that the data required by each entity varies based upon its specific concerns. And that’s why LexisNexis Risk Solutions tunes the data services it provides to the industry segment and individual firm.
Sitting on top of such vast data resources and knowing the complications associated with deriving meaning from it all, LexisNexis Risk Solutions also provides analytical services that saves an enterprise from having to analyze the data itself.
This is a great conversation if you want to understand the data provider role, the scale of its operations, and its priorities. So take a listen.
