Why does AML matter?

A complex and criminal process, money laundering disguises gaining funds illegally, making the funds 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 from 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.
