Elon Musk, owner of ‘X’ (or Twitter), has announced plans to turn the social media platform into an app that is the centre of ‘someone’s entire financial life”. 

But while Musk may be one of the original founders of PayPal, there is a lot which needs to be worked out from a compliance perspective when turning a social media site into a financial tool capable of replacing the banking system. 

In the latest episode of The Laundry – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Jason Mikula, Publisher of Fintech Business Weekly to discuss what Elon Musk needs to know about AML and compliance.

The pair discuss: how Musk envisions Twitter's move into financial services, the compliance hurdles needed to be jumped to get there, and how easy it is to move from posting to paying.

(Episode in Norwegian) I denne spesielle bonus-episoden tar vi for oss en nyhetssak som har dominert flere norske medier den siste tiden – nemlig utfordringene i samarbeidet mellom Økokrim og bankene i kampen mot hvitvasking. Mangelen på ressurser, teknologiske utfordringer, og en følelse av frustrasjon fra både myndighetene og bankene.

I denne episoden av The Laundry – får Marit besøk av Terje Aleksander Fjeldvær, sjef for AML i DNB, og Økokrim-sjef, Pål Lønseth i studio.

Gjennom ærlige samtaler og innsikt, åpner denne episoden for en dypere forståelse av hvordan Økokrim og regulerte sektorer arbeider sammen for å styrke forsvarslinjene mot kriminelle aktører, og gir et innblikk i veien fremover for effektivt samarbeid og innovasjon i kampen mot økonomisk kriminalitet.
