Organized by the Union of Arab Banks
in cooperation with the Central Bank of Jordan and the Association of Banks in
Jordan, the forum aimed to enhance the efficiency of financial systems and
strengthen their ability to predict risks through leveraging artificial
intelligence, guided by unified policies developed in collaboration with Arab
financial institutions.
Housing Bank’s sponsorship reflects
its commitment to supporting initiatives that propel the banking sector’s
resilience and stability, particularly in the adoption of artificial
intelligence amid rapid digital transformation. AI is playing a pivotal role in
reinforcing financial infrastructure, improving compliance and oversight
systems, and developing innovative solutions to address sector challenges.
Across multiple sessions, the forum
explored the latest practices in financial oversight and suspicious activity
detection. Discussions covered the future of combating financial crime, smart
financial systems and risk management, cybersecurity and digital resilience,
digital financial crimes, the role of emerging technologies in combating money
laundering and terrorism financing, and regulatory technology and supervisory
innovation.
This sponsorship comes as part of
Housing Bank’s broader efforts to drive digital innovation and ensure a safe,
reliable banking environment. The bank continues to implement a comprehensive
strategy based on sound governance and aligned with both the Central Bank of
Jordan and international risk management standards. Its efforts include robust
operational and customer policies, investment in advanced regulatory systems
and customer classification tools, and support for internal and community
awareness programs.
