NEW YORK - AstroBug -- K2 Integrity, the leading global risk management company, is pleased to announce its upcoming webinar, "Built for Trust: Latitude's 0→1 Compliance Playbook for Modern Cross-Border Payments," presented in collaboration with Latitude Payments.

This one-hour virtual session will take place on Wednesday, 22 July 2026, at 12:30 p.m. ET, and will explore how fast-growing payments companies can build effective financial crimes compliance programs from day one—creating the trust, governance, and controls needed to scale responsibly in today's rapidly evolving cross-border payments landscape.

As innovation continues to reshape global payments, organizations must balance speed and growth with strong compliance foundations. Moderated by Elizabeth Severinovskaya, managing director in K2 Integrity's Financial Crimes Risk Management practice and Latitude's fractional Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) officer since the company's inception, the discussion will provide an inside look at how Latitude designed its compliance program alongside its business and product strategy to meet regulatory expectations while supporting innovation.
