EAST FCS 2026
The EAST Financial Crime and Security (FCS) Forum 2026 will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland on 14th – 15th October 2026.
This forum brings together professionals from across the EAST network and beyond who are involved in tackling financial crime and security risks. Our programme covers the full spectrum of today’s threats, from payment terminal and ATM fraud to payment fraud, scams, social engineering, authorised push payment (APP) fraud and relay attacks. It is a key opportunity to hear the latest developments, share experiences with peers, and discuss the threats, trends and countermeasures shaping the sector.
Open to EAST members and other fraud prevention and security professionals, the forum will provide two half days of relevant discussion, practical insight and valuable industry exchange, bringing together expertise from across the financial services, payments, and law enforcement communities.
