Could fintechs be the answer to solving Londons dirty money problem?<\/p>\n

Michael Harris, director of financial crime compliance and reputational risk at Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions, says YES.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By their very nature, fintech firms are disruptive and have a reputation for driving change in their field. Why shouldnt the fight against money laundering be led by these technological innovators too?<\/p>\n

Recent research supports this theory. A report from LexisNexis Risk Solutions and the Economist Intelligence Unit shows that fintechs are the most likely businesses to say that the UK has a long way to go in fighting dirty money. In fact, almost half (48 per cent) think that the existing UK regulatory framework is not effective in combating the issue.<\/p>\n

How can they disrupt anti-money laundering? The vast majority (85 per cent) of fintechs are already using or making plans to adopt technology, such as advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, as part of their anti-money laundering arsenal \u2013 more so than the regulated industry average.<\/p>\n

Arun Srivastava, a partner at international law firm Paul Hastings, says NO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would be too simplistic to say that fintechs are the most likely to shake the UK of its dirty money problem \u2013 it is too vast and complex to place the burden on one sector alone.<\/p>\n

Estimates suggest that almost \u00a3100bn of illicit money flows through the UK economy each year, most of which will never come into contact with a fintech firm. It is misguided and unfair to seek to place Read More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a>
