Graham Barrow Biography

Graham has worked in senior roles across Global Banking, Global Markets, Corporate Banking, Private Banking, Retail Banking and Wealth Management. 

During his career, Graham has worked for a large number of banks, including HSBC following their fine in the US and Deutsche Bank to help address the issues highlighted by the mirror trading scandal.

He was also drafted in by the UK regulator, then the FSA, after the Northern Rock crash as part of the team tasked with reforming the training and competence of internal FSA staff. He worked there throughout the credit crunch of 2008, gaining an insider’s view of the seriousness of the situation.

He is currently working with a number of Regulatory Technology (RegTech) start-ups, to help design new tools for automating elements of financial crime controls and alerts to make them more effective, efficient and economical for use within the banking industry.

He works with a variety of NGOs (Transparency International, Global Witness, Tax Justice Network) and Open Data initiatives (OpenCorporates, OpenOwnership, OpenDemocracy) to advocate for, amongst other things, improvement to Financial Crime legislation and transparent corporate registers.

Graham is regularly quoted in a variety of newspapers about money laundering stories. He was entrusted with a huge trove of Danske Bank Estonia bank statements to review prior to the story breaking. He continues to work with many print and broadcast media investigative journalists, providing expert assistance on whistleblower documentation relating to financial crime.

Graham was invited by Danish Business Minister, Rasmus Jarlov, to meet the Danish Parliamentary Committee on AML and present to them his suggestions on how best to improve the Danish Regulatory environment and its effectiveness in relation to financial crime. Many of those recommendations were included in the recently published paper on the revision to Danish AML Regulatory requirements

Graham is the co-host of “The Dark Money Files” podcast, a weekly download covering all aspects of money laundering and financial crime. It has a very wide base of regular listeners from all over the world and, to date, there have been more than 220,000 downloads across all episodes.
