Sweden is the global poster-child of the journey to completely digital transactions – with the number of Swedes using cash falling from 39% in 2010 to just 9% in 2020.  

But; does a cashless society offer only benefits, or do we need to consider the financial crime risks this creates – as well as those it stops?

In the latest episode of The Laundry – our expert host, Fredrik Riiser is joined by Kajsa Nordborg, Head of AML at Loomis.

The panel discuss: how global wars and cyber-terrorism can leave digital systems vulnerable to disruption, the groups which rely on cash to protect their privacy and health, and whether Sweden will ever go completely cashless.
