HALISTER1: Nordea Is ‘Morally Obliged’ to Fight Money Laundering, CRO Says

Nordea Is ‘Morally Obliged’ to Fight Money Laundering, CRO Says

(Bloomberg) -- Nordea has a moral obligation to fight money laundering, Chief Risk Officer Julie Galbo tells Denmark’s parliament.
  • Nordea wants to develop tools to help identify potential financial crimes and to use that expertise to help the authorities, Galbo says
  • Nordea has historically been too focused on banking, and hasn’t done enough to counter money laundering, she says
  • The bank is able and willing to help authorities track the money trail of suspected criminals, Galbo says
  • Galbo says it’s not possible to rule out that Nordea might be used by criminals for money laundering purposes in the future, but says the bank will do whatever it can to avoid that happening
  • Galbo says Nordea is cautious on blockchain technology because it can be used by criminals to channel funds
