Financial crime continues to pose one of the biggest risks to the global economy. The estimated annual cost of money laundering and associated crimes is between US$1.4 trillion and US$3.5 trillion, with banks spending an average of US$1 billion per year trying to combat them.
Inconsistencies in risk management, a lack of information sharing between banks, inefficient risk and control processes, and legacy technology systems are among the most pressing pain points that make the financial industry vulnerable to bad actors.
