Ever wonder what actually happens when money moves between banks — especially across borders? In this curious, light-hearted conversation, Paul untangles the invisible plumbing of the financial world: clearinghouses, SWIFT, SEPA, Norway's KID system, the IMF, and how governments sometimes step in to move money (or stop it)!

We explore why banks trust each other, how international transfers get routed, what keeps everyone honest, and how politics can turn the system upside-down. And yes… we start with a parking ticket.
