Navigating Risk 2026: Resilience and the Year Ahead

We’re back in Liverpool on the 29th January to unpack the key risks and resilience trends defining financial services in 2026.

As the pace of change in financial services accelerates, so too do the risks that come with it. In partnership with DTM Legal, FinTech North is kicking off the new year with a focused look at risk, resilience, and opportunity across the FinTech ecosystem.

This event will explore how the sector can better understand, manage, and insure against emerging threats - from financial crime and fraud to cyber attacks, AI vulnerabilities, and the limitations of current insurance models. Together, we’ll unpack where the gaps lie, what’s next for risk management, and how innovation and collaboration can help us bridge them.

The forum will conclude with a focused networking session - an opportunity for attendees to continue the conversation, share insights, and explore potential collaborations aimed at strengthening resilience across the financial ecosystem.
