Stopping Money Mules: A Practical Guide for Financial Institutions

Financial institutions, especially those operating in APAC, are facing growing challenges in detecting and preventing money mule networks. These operations move swiftly and often blend in with legitimate financial activities, making detection particularly difficult. The complexity of cross-border transactions, the rise of digital banking, and the expansion of remittance channels all contribute to the problem. Traditional transaction monitoring systems often struggle to keep pace with the evolving tactics used by criminals, leaving institutions exposed to regulatory risks, financial losses, and reputational damage.
