Through an independent study by Opimas, a global capital markets consultancy firm, three challenges were identified for 2026 that put pressure on compliance leaders in the Financial Services industry:
AI Transparency
Regulators are increasingly intolerant of high error rates, hallucinations, or poorly understood model behavior.
Regional Compliance Fragmentation
Rules are localizing and moving away from harmonized standards and towards data sovereignty requirements unique to each jurisdiction.
Hybrid Environment Demands
Data sovereignty concerns are driving firms to hybrid models, instead of relying solely on centralized platforms.
