The Anambra State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has released a WhatsApp number to report the unprofessional conduct of its personnel in the state. SaharaReporters reported on Saturday that the Command had directed the Divisional Police Officer covering 3-3 area of Onitsha, Anambra commercial nerve Centre, to fish out the police officer captured in a viral video collecting a bribe from a commuter in the area last week.

WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, has announced the launch of two new updates that will enhance the user experience. According to a report by WaBetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp updates, these updates include the ability to share screens during video calls and a new arrangement of tabs in the bottom navigation bar. While the screen-sharing feature is currently available to a select group of beta testers, it will soon be rolled out to a wider audience in the coming days. This new addition allows users to share their screens with others during video calls.

The New Self Regulatory Organization (SRO, soon to be called the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization or CIRO) requires Canadian Dealer Members to keep complete and accurate records of client communications for at least seven years (Rule 3800). This requirement includes electronic communications. Dealer Members are also required to supervise their employees to ensure they are following the rules (Rule 3900). Use of unauthorized communication applications, such as WhatsApp, Signal or text message, are contrary to the Standards of Conduct (Rule 1400). International Enforcement Trend In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have entered into multimillion-dollar settlements for use of off-channel communication applications. Enforcement began last fall, when the SEC announced settlements with a dozen U.S. banks with fines totalling over US$1-billion (see our November 2022 Blakes Bulletin: SEC Crackdown on Record-Keeping Failures Offers a Warning to Canadian Securities Firms.). The SEC and CFTC are also targeting institutions based in the United Kingdom and Canada, along with major private equity firms and hedge funds.

WhatsApp is working on a long-awaited feature. According to WABetaInfo, the messenger app will soon set the ability to add a username. With that in mind, people will no longer need to share their phone numbers, as a username will be enough to find someone on the platform. This feature was found in the Android beta version 2.23.11.15 of WhatsApp. Although it’s still in development, WABetaInfo was able to get a first-look at this feature. According to the publication, WhatsApp will add a “WhatsApp username” section under the Profile tab. There, you can select a unique username so people can find you. It’s important to note that there are no references to this feature on the iOS beta version of the app, although it’s likely that it could launch for both platforms in the future. While this will add another layer of protection, as people won’t need to share their phone numbers anymore, it’s still unclear if users can decide whether they want to be discoverable by anyone or not. WABetaInfo says that WhatsApp “may allow users to communicate with businesses privately, thus safeguarding their phone numbers, or perhaps their usage will be even more extensive, allowing private communication with

Fixed Invest, a fintech platform for fixed income assets, has launched a fixed deposit (FD) marketplace that is available over WhatsApp for investors looking for safer and better returns. Fixed Invest has developed BetterFD, a WhatsApp marketplace where investors can find options for FDs with highest interest rates and invest without having to open a savings account.  Further, investors can directly begin new investments online through the marketplace at the click of a button. For instance, an investor in the age group of 18-40 who has an account in HDFC Bank could be looking for a short-term FD for two years. The investor can open the interactive BetterFD interface on WhatsApp, enter the required details and browse through all the FDs that provide a higher rate of interest than their existing bank.  By clicking on the ‘Invest Now’ option, the investor will be taken to the official FD booking portal of the chosen bank or non-banking finance company. This assumes significance as after the recent changes in the tax treatment of debt mutual funds, retail investors are looking for better returns on safe investments like fixed deposits. Fixed Invest was launched early this year by seasoned banker and fintech evangelist
