Employee awareness is essential to our efforts to prevent crime. Our staff play a pivotal role in identifying irregularities, whether through advanced computer systems or direct interactions with people.
We are constantly enhancing our resources in this area by educating our employees, keeping our customers informed, investing in new technology, refining our know-your-customer (KYC) processes, and improving transaction monitoring systems. In the ongoing work to develop smarter systems for detecting transaction anomalies and fraud attempts, our employees and their expertise are invaluable assets.
At SEB we provide a variety of training programmes for employees, including an educational package featuring e-learning, videos, and practical materials.
Four digital training sessions are mandatory for all employees:
All new employees are required to complete these sessions within their first three months of employment. Existing employees must complete them every three years, except for Cyber Security training, which is mandatory on an annual basis.
If an employee or other person should discover possible unethical or unlawful behaviour, they should report their observations. Reports can be made completely anonymously via the digital service WhistleB. This service is entirely outside of SEB and meets the most stringent security requirements regarding encryption, data security and protection of the whistleblower's identity.
Digitalisation is transforming every aspect of banking, making the stability and reliability of the bank's IT platform crucial. Interruptions or breaches in these systems can have significant consequences for customers, suppliers, and employees alike.
Money laundering is the illegal process of criminals trying to make funds made from unlawful activity seem to have been generated from a legitimate source. This poses a threat not just to banks and the entire financial system but also to democracy and society as a whole.
The Swedish Anti-Money Laundering Intelligence Task Force (SAMLIT) is a unique collaboration between Swedish banks and the police, aimed at enhancing the overall ability to combat money laundering and related crime.
