Banking has a fraud problem, that’s not new, and it costs clients billions of dollars every year. We are all so used to this now that it’s not even shocking anymore but there is now a simple solution that can eliminate this problem while actually saving the banks money. However, banking executives want you to forget about this solution as quickly as possible or just convince you that it won’t work. Regular viewers of the channel will know I hate dragging out the answer to a simple question for the sake of watch time, so the solution is just to force bankers to work from home, where they actually have less oversight from managers and authorities. A recent study by the European Journal of Financial Management found that FIVE TIMES less likely to engage in financial misconduct when working from home. There are two reasons why this works so well and three infuriating reasons why executives won’t let it happen. The first reason is simply because everything done from home goes on a digital record. In America banks are not allowed to delete most records for five years, and that’s not just financial transactions and signed contracts, it also includes internal files like emails, meeting minutes and instant chat messages between employees. A billion dollars lawsuit was recently settled with major banks that didn’t put effective measures in place to stop their employees’ sending messages via encrypted messaging platforms like WhatsApp that don’t leave the required records. There was no way to tell if these bankers were talking about their plans for the weekend or conspiring on an insider trading scheme. Laws vary in other countries but there is always one record that’s impossible to keep track of and that is in person conversations. There are three types of conversations that happen in banks with alarming frequency that make this a serious problem. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how we found a simple solution to fraud and why we are going to pretend it doesn’t exist. Follow to learn How Money Works.
