Geldwäsche und Terrorismusfinanzierung

With validated monitoring and screening, banks and savings banks can accurately identify suspicious payments. They prevent illicit funds from being moved or converted into assets. At the same time, they provide law enforcement authorities with important information on organisations, payment channels and financiers. This reduces the incentives for white-collar and organised crime and limits the scope for terrorists. Based on an international literature review and interviews with experts from the financial sector, the author presents current methods and explores various approaches to improve the prevention efficiency of banks.
