The numerous crimes which currently threaten financial institutions have evolved in concert with the trend of collusive activities by today’s savvy and sophisticated financial criminals. Whether it’s fraud rings that inflict various types of losses (e.g. loan fraud, card fraud, online account takeover, check fraud, tax fraud, etc.); financial exploitation by drug cartels; “funnel accounts” used by human trafficking and smuggling organizations; or “money mules” who are instrumental in money launderers’ attempts to evade detection – the days of the lone financial criminal have become less common. The current financial crime landscape has become the domain of group criminal activity and organized efforts.
