I value your emails to keep me abreast of various significant events that are happening in the US and abroad. The summarization of these events are always fact based, unbiased politically, and straightforward.
Also, you always provide information that isn’t “front page” stories, but in themselves are more significant than what is provided via mainstream media.
We consult for Financial Services firms so I need to understand what keeps my clients awake at night. And we're a design company, so I’m always on the hunt for broken things that need fixing.I get both of those things from Risk Channel. Stories about regulation and compliance are most relevant but the wider themes help to paint a picture.
Risk Channel reliably gives me something new to think about and explore. It is relevant and digestible. That’s all it needs to do and it does it well.
I read Risk Channel on a daily basis. I like Risk Channel because it compiles all the major news stories and provides links to the primary sources in a concise format and convenient medium.
My time is limited and Risk Channel is super convenient because I can spend 5 minutes (or less if I’m just skimming) and read a single email to catch up on all the major articles of the day, and if I want, jump directly to a main article to get a more in-depth read.
I really like the daily Risk Channel as it gives me a glimpse on what is happening in the risk world, helps me stay informed and prompts me to think if the same type of risk can emerge in my company.
The content is easy to go through and to the point. It takes me less than a few minutes to review and if I need to look further in any one story the source is right there for me to go to the full details.

Wells Fargo has named Derek Flowers as its new chief risk officer. He replaces Mandy Norton, who has served as the bank's chief risk officer since 2018 and is planning to retire in June, and will lead all aspects of the lender's risk management systems. Mr. Flowers has worked for Wells Fargo for 24 years, including in the role of chief credit and market risk officer, where he oversaw companywide credit, counterparty and market risk. “Over the last several years, he has played a critical role managing the build-out of the company’s risk and control frameworks,” Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf said of Mr. Flowers. The Wall Street Journal notes that the appointment is made as the bank continues to wrestle with compliance issues.

The Government has announced that cryptocurrency adverts will have to meet the same standards as other financial promotions. In an effort to help protect people from potentially misleading claims, crypto promotions will be brought into line with other financial advertising, such as that for stocks, shares, and insurance products. Under the plans, the promotion of cryptoassets will come under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules. The changes will be brought in by amending the Financial Promotion Order. Chancellor Rishi Sunak said that while cryptoassets “can provide exciting new opportunities … it’s important that consumers are not being sold products with misleading claims.” He added: “We are ensuring consumers are protected, while also supporting innovation of the cryptoasset market.” Welcoming the plans, Laura Suter, head of personal finance at AJ Bell, said: “The Advertising Standards Agency has already been banning individual crypto adverts that it deems misleading or understating the risk involved in the market, but this new move by the Government will lead to a wholesale tightening of the rules governing adverts.” Ed Cooper, head of crypto at financial app Revolut, said: “Clear guidance in how companies describe their crypto offering will benefit consumers and help improve trust in the sector.”

In the closing days of the 1960s, a boy walks quickly along the sidewalk as he follows his father striding purposefully in and out of the smoky roadside bars and diners of Baltimore. His father enters an establishment, a tired neon light flashing, and exchanges words with the bar-tender as the boy hops up onto a stool. It is a well-rehearsed routine....
