How financial inclusion reduces financial crime

Join John Edward Conway the Global Head of Financial Crime Compliance Framework & Policies for Banco Santander and Chair of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Private Sector Dialogue on the Financial Disruption of Forestry Crime.

His talk will explore Santander financial inclusion initiatives around the world and how they work toward reducing criminal activity, mainly by making “vulnerable communities” less vulnerable by getting cash off the streets and into the formal banking sector, mitigating the risks that individuals are exploited in a moment of crisis.

Learn about their response to providing banking services to refugees from Ukraine, identifying the unique challenges in Poland, Spain and from Openbank and how the bank responded quickly and responsibly to the crisis.

Gain insights into other financial inclusion initiatives in countries like Mexico and how Santander are collaborating with the government to move people onto basic bank accounts and away from cash. Learn how Santander’s strategy on financial inclusion ties back to their commitment on UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 – “Decent Work & Economic Growth”, which includes the objective of ending modern day slavery.
