What We're Looking For
We investigate stories that serve the public interest: regulatory overreach, systemic risk, model failures, compliance breaches, governance failures, market manipulation, and whistleblower accounts from banking and financial technology professionals.
Your Security
End-to-End Encryption
All submissions are encrypted with military-grade protocols. We use industry-standard encryption both in transit and at rest.
No Account Required
Submit anonymously without creating an account. You need not identify yourself unless you wish to be contacted by our journalists.
Confidentiality Guaranteed
We will not disclose your identity without your explicit consent, except under extraordinary legal circumstances covered by applicable press privilege laws.
Fast Response
Our editorial team reviews submissions within 48 hours. If your tip requires urgent investigation, we will prioritise accordingly.
Legal Protection
Journalists in the United Kingdom are protected by qualified privilege when reporting matters of legitimate public interest. If you are a whistleblower, you may also be protected under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. We will work with you to understand and protect your legal position.
Secure Submission Channels
Choose any method below. All channels employ encryption and are regularly audited for security.
tips@bankersmagazine.com — Use a secure email provider (Proton Mail, Tutanota, or similar). Do not send from work email if anonymity is critical.
SecureDrop
Coming soon — We are implementing SecureDrop, a dedicated platform for anonymous document submission used by major news organisations worldwide.
Signal
For urgent matters, reach out via Signal (encrypted messaging). We will provide a number upon initial contact.
What Happens Next
Once we receive your tip:
- We will assess it for newsworthiness and public interest value
- Our editors will independently verify all material facts
- We may request additional information or documentation
- If we proceed with an investigation, we will keep you informed
- You will have the opportunity to respond to questions before publication
Off the Record
If you wish to provide background context without a specific story in mind, we can discuss this off the record. Please note that we cannot guarantee never publishing information you provide off the record if it is confirmed through independent investigation.
