E63: De-banking: What is a PEP, anyway?
Manage episode 382735701 series 3414896
If you’ve picked up a British newspaper, switched on the TV, logged on to social media, or attended a political party conference – there is one word you will have come across again and again….
De-Banked!
British politicians and media figures are in uproar about bank accounts being shut down or applications being rejected - reportedly due to political connections and beliefs.
The term ‘politically exposed persons’ – previously only known to compliance nerds – has suddenly become a mainstream talking point.
In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Phil Coole, MRLO and Head of Compliance at OakNorth Bank, and James Nurse, Managing Director at Fintrail.
The panel discuss: what is a politically exposed person in 2023, whether political views matter, and the real world consequences of not getting this right.
Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles
Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Andrea Busco
