E58: What can banks learn from the biggest AML fine in UK history?

Human trafficking is one of those terms which hides a lot of human suffering. Estimates put the number of people trafficked globally at around 27 million – forced into domestic work, construction, agriculture, sexual exploitation, and many more dark avenues. This is a huge global problem that financial services can help to identify and eradicate – but only if it steps up to the challenge. In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand , is joined by Anita Nedergaard , Country AML Responsible, Nordea . They discuss how banking and human trafficking overlaps, the red flags all financial services should be looking for, and whether banks have a responsibility to fight this crime.
