What are financial crimes?

Financial crimes are unlawful acts aimed at obtaining money or assets, often through fraudulent means. Common forms include money laundering, sanctions violations, fraud, tax evasion, terrorist financing, bribery, and corruption.

Why should clients care?

Financial crimes can affect both individuals and businesses. Your cooperation is crucial for creating a safe and transparent transactional environment.

What are sanctions?

Sanctions are measures imposed by governments or international organizations (e.g., the UN, the European Union) to limit security threats and prevent illegal activities such as terrorism, drug trafficking, and arms trade. Sanctioned entities are publicly listed, e.g., on the OFAC Sanctions List.

The growing sophistication of global fraudulent activities requires us to enhance our client information review, management, and sharing processes. This protects you and maintains the safety and trustworthiness of all transactions.
