The constant friction between banks, regulators, and money launderers has increased due to new-age technologies, which has resulted in the increase in complex regulations. Financial services and banks are grappling with adhering to regulations such as BSA, FinCEN, Fourth AMLD, Fifth AMLD, Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and more with their legacy systems, thereby adversely impacting in meeting deadlines and slowing the overall process. To further add to the woes driven by digital transformation and emerging technologies, financial crimes are increasing in both frequency and complexity, thereby fueling a rapid rise in money laundering activities. With miscreants finding innovative ways, cryptocurrency and virtual assets are also coming under the purview of money laundering activities. Lately, with the majority of the population homebound and working remotely due to the pandemic, there has been a swift rise in financial frauds, with people increasingly shopping online and being digitally active.
Driven by the global complexities, global organizations are increasingly looking at evaluating and adopting advanced AML solutions. Leading AML vendors are increasingly investing in enhancing capabilities, including machine learning (ML), AutoML, advanced case management, advanced analytics, graph analytics, process automation, artificial intelligence, and others.
