El cierre de cuentas, la reducción del riesgo y la desbancarización son frases que se oyen en todo el panorama bancario de nuestra era. Aunque el proceso parece sencillo a primera vista, puede resultar oneroso. Los cierres pueden producirse por muchas razones: fraude, riesgo inaceptable (lavado de dinero, reputación, geográfico, etc.), falta de información necesaria o incluso por clientes problemáticos. Entre ellas se incluyen los banqueros de primera línea, el personal de riesgos/cumplimiento, la dirección ejecutiva, los reguladores, las agencias de control legal e incluso la Oficina de Prote ..read more

Después de un agradable fin de semana cuidando perros, soñábamos con añadir un cachorro a nuestra familia. Al navegar por el internet, nuestra ilusión se convirtió en consternación al descubrir el concepto la práctica engañosa de comercializar cachorros de criaderos como si fueran perros rescatados.

Intelligence is a cycle of gathering, analyzing and reporting information to guide operations. The most telling information, however, is often not what you have been able to gather but rather what is missing. Information without analysis is like puzzle pieces scattered on a table. Analysis is the process of turning them face up, finding the edges and sorting them. Over time, patterns and indicators become a picture. As a financial investigator puts together the puzzle of transactions and relationships to look for financial crime, absent pieces can be inferred: The missing sky is probably blue ..read more

In the summer of 2023, a peculiar political issue made headlines in Austria: The conservative government, responding to cross-party concerns about a digital euro initiative, began exploring ways to establish a right to cash payments in the constitution. A few other countries have had similar debates, often in response to the new era of digital payments. However, the Austrian example highlights a unique situation.
