The Nordics have the data and tech to fight financial crime. Why is so much potential still going to waste?
What we learned at this year’s FinCrime discussion at Deloitte
This year’s FinCrime discussion at Deloitte, arranged together with NCE Finance Innovation, brought together banks, fintechs and other Nordic players around one question: how do we actually get better at fighting financial crime?
What we learned at this year’s FinCrime discussion at Deloitte
The Nordics are connected, but not aligned
We share similar regulations, high digital maturity and tightly linked financial systems.
When it comes to data sharing, the picture is still fragmented. Each country has its own ways of working, its own boundaries and its own interpretations.
We’re strong individually – just not as coordinated as we could be.
Tech isn’t the problem – rules and roles are
No one in the room claimed that the technology is missing. The main blockers are legal restrictions, uncertainty about what’s allowed and limited collaboration between authorities, banks and other stakeholders.
So the question is less “can we do this?” and more “are we allowed, and who owns what?”
There is a lot of value locked up in data that already exists but isn’t used in a structured, coordinated way.
The will to improve is there
The good news: people want to fix this. Public and private actors talked about the need for better data flows, shared standards and more practical cooperation – both within countries and across the Nordics.
That’s a solid starting point. The challenge now is to turn that will into concrete changes.
How Roaring helps Nordic companies act on this
Financial crime is complex, cross-border and fast-moving. At Roaring, we help companies get the right data in place, automate recurring checks and stay compliant without drowning in manual work.
Reliable KYC/KYB data across the Nordics
We provide APIs and services for company information, beneficial owners, sanctions and PEP lists, addresses and identity management.
With one setup, you can access the same types of data in the same way across the Nordics, trust that it’s up to date and traceable, and reduce manual lookups and copy-paste work.
Automating key compliance workflows
By integrating Roaring, companies can automate large parts of KYC/KYB checks, risk assessment, sanctions and PEP screening, plus continuous monitoring and alerts when something changes.
That means fewer repetitive tasks, faster onboarding and more time for the complex cases that actually need human judgement.
Sharing data securely inside the organization
Even with regulatory limits, there is more you can do to share data internally in a smarter way.
Roaring supports centralized access to data through APIs and platforms, role-based permissions with full audit trails, and automated flows between risk, compliance, onboarding and customer support.
The result is a shared view of the customer instead of scattered information in different systems.
For many Nordic companies, the challenge isn’t getting more data – it’s using the data they already have in a structured, compliant and scalable way. That’s exactly where Roaring comes in.
If you want to see what this could look like in your own onboarding, risk or compliance flows, we’re happy to walk you through it.
