The Intrepid Fox team travelled to Malta to take part in QUBE’s NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum, one of the leading conferences for payments, RegTech, and financial crime compliance.
Our Co-Founder and CPO Deniss Skokovs also joined the panel discussion “AI Safety and Governance for Financial Institutions”, sharing practical insights on what it takes to deploy AI responsibly in regulated environments.
The discussion focused on what responsible AI looks like in real workflows—especially where AI supports onboarding and compliance decisions.
With the Intrepid Fox AI KYB lifecycle platform already in production for cross-border payments, merchant acquiring, and neobanks—including IFX Payments, Ecommpay, ANNA Money, and others—we shared our view on how organisations can achieve the right safety-to-efficiency ratio when implementing AI in compliance workflows.
In practice, that means designing AI systems that:
- remove low-risk / high load tasks from manual work to controlled AI agents
- use customer as Human-in-the-Loop at the customer touchpoint
- deliver data in the interactive dashboard with automatic reconcilation and source info for every data point
- leave final decision with qualified compliance professionals
- provide clear audit trails so compliance teams can validate outcomes with confidence.
Balancing innovation with responsible AI isn’t about choosing between speed and safety. It’s about building systems where innovation remains controllable—and where compliance teams can say “yes” with confidence because evidence, monitoring, and accountability are built in from day one.
