Why does AML matter?
A complex criminal process, money laundering disguises illegally gained funds to make them appear legitimate. Money laundering has far-reaching implications for society, including corruption, economic instability and a loss of trust in the integrity of financial institutions.
Efforts to combat money laundering in banking and finance involve a range of approaches including mandated AML & know-your-customer (KYC) policies.
Money laundering is a prevalent and global danger
- In one year, the estimated amount of money laundered globally is 2-5% of global GDP, or $800 billion to $2 trillion.
- Less than 1% of global money laundering is currently seized and frozen.
- In 2022, financial institutions worldwide faced significant penalties, totaling nearly $5 billion, from reported AML events, making it one of the largest cumulative fines in history.
- Criminal money laundering syndicates created an underground financial system to process transactions and payments separately and are invisible to oversight and legal economic systems.
