Everything You Need to Know About Anti Money Laundering in Nordic Banking

 

Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/12/2022 -- AML Compliance and AML Compliance Software have come under the spotlight in recent months thanks to a number of high profile money laundering cases that have unsettled the Nordic region. This includes the 2018 €200 million money laundering scheme connected to the Eastern European and Russian branches of Denmark's Danske Bank. The response to various scandals in the region came from Nordic banks, which requested that the IMF conduct an independent review of the region's money laundering and terrorism financing risks. This has given various regulators many more tools to help strengthen protection in the area, which is what you need to know about the measures in place in Nordic banking today.

Nordic regulators include The Iceland Central Bank, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Sweden, and the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. Following the IMF report, a number of key measures have been put in place by these authorities to create a safer environment in the Nordic region, including information sharing, moving away from manual compliance to the use of tools such as AML compliance software, and ensuring that employees receive more compliance training.

Financial crime technology solutions, such as AML compliance software, have moved up the list of priorities for regulators in the Nordics today. Automated screening and improving the speed and accuracy of screening processes are now being prioritized and investments made in areas such as AML compliance software are already starting to pay off.
