Anti Money Laundering

Anti-Money Laundering

In today’s modern age where Financial Institutions deal with clients of different backgrounds and transactions of varying complexity, the onus lies on these FIs to ensure they are able to separate illicit from legitimate funds. They are under pressure to identify and prevent fraudulent individuals from accessing the global banking system and, thus, converting their illicit funds into legal tender. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures are designed to help FIs become better informed and well-prepared to prevent the laundering of illicit funds by using a risk-based approach and following recommendations issued by regulators and governing bodies. AML is continuously evolving and considered high priority by banks and global regulators, especially with the rise of crypto and other blockchain-based digital assets.
