Lund, Sweden – 2024-10-29

Finshark is proud to announce the appointment of Casper Munk Christiansen as the new Head of Risk and Compliance. Casper brings a wealth of experience in financial crime prevention (FCP) and risk management, further strengthening Finshark’s commitment to maintaining the highest security and compliance standards within the fintech industry.

With nearly a decade of leadership experience in financial crime compliance, Casper has held key roles across several high-profile companies, including Fuse Energy in London and leading Scandinavian banks. His expertise spans financial crime risk, compliance, operational risk, and regulatory matters, making him a valuable addition to the Finshark team.

“As Head of Risk and Compliance, I oversee all aspects of risk management at Finshark,” said Casper Munk Christiansen. “My primary focus is financial crime risks, but I also manage regulatory, operational, and other risk areas. I work closely with our team to ensure that we remain compliant with the latest regulations, including AML, GDPR, and the upcoming DORA regulation.”

DORA, or the Digital Operational Resilience Act, is a key EU regulation aimed at enhancing the operational resilience of financial institutions. Set to come into effect in January 2025, DORA will introduce a range of new requirements for banks and fintech companies to ensure they can continue operating smoothly, even during cyberattacks or system failures.

“At Finshark, we fully support regulations like DORA that prioritize operational resilience and data protection,” said Casper. “We are already preparing to ensure we are 100% compliant with its requirements.”

In his new role, Casper will also play a pivotal part in overseeing that Finshark’s processes and systems are designed to mitigate risk and support its growth while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.

Finshark CEO, Adnan Sporo, commented: “We are excited to welcome Casper to the Finshark family. His deep expertise in financial crime prevention and risk management is exactly what we need as we continue to innovate and scale while keeping our customers and systems secure.”
