Last week the European Banking Authority (EBA) published a very insightful report 📖 on payment fraud (link in the Comments 👇).

Although the data itself isn't very recent due to the lag in the collection of statistics, the report shows very interesting trends.

According to the report, fraud rates (in terms of value) in 2022-2023 remained at low and stable levels for credit transfers, direct debits, cash withdrawals, and even decreased 📉 for e-money payments. But don't be fooled by nice graphs, when:

👉 In contrast, fraud rates are increasing in terms of volume for card payments and e-money transactions.
👉 Card data theft is a very trendy crime, as around two thirds of remote card fraud is due to card data theft. 
👉 There are significant differences in fraud levels between countries. The Netherlands and France reported high levels of fraud in terms of both volume and value, while countries such as Lithuania and Cyprus reported lower levels.
👉 Fraudulent credit transfers were concentrated in countries with higher transaction volumes. That's why the Netherlands had the highest fraud rates.

And what about us? 🤔 

At AMLYZE, we’ve implemented the elements of fraud mitigation into our products at multiple degrees.

From the very first days, AMLYZE started with integrated real-time transaction monitoring solutions , which helps to stop fraud in its very early stages. On top of that, our dynamic transaction monitoring rule library provides a number of laser focused anti-fraud rules. This is critical because the key difference between using this technology for fraud and for AML/CFT is timing.

We continue to implement solutions that effectively identify fraud threats and collaborate on joint AML/CFT and fraud prevention solutions through our strategic partnerships.

Scary day for the financial markets? 😱 

We will see how this turbulence in the markets develops, but have you heard that the role of AML/CFT and compliance teams during financial market crashes is significant. And here is why:

1️⃣ Market crashes can lead to an increase in transaction volumes as investors react to market conditions. This increase can result in a higher number of alerts for AML teams to review, potentially causing delays or backlogs in processing.

2️⃣ During market crashes, there is often increased regulatory scrutiny to identify any suspicious activity that may have contributed to the instability. So be prepared for the possibility that financial institutions may need to step up and request additional information.

3️⃣ The stress on financial markets during a crisis can affect the operational capabilities of financial institutions. AML/CFT teams may face resource constraints or technological challenges that affect their ability to effectively monitor and respond to suspicious activity.

With regulatory insiders and AML/CFT experts on board, we have seen many market crashes. Our suggested practices for turbulent times would be as follows:

💡Adjust your monitoring systems during cracks to detect unusual patterns of activity that may indicate money laundering or other financial crimes.

💡Ensure adequate resources and staffing to handle the increased volume of alerts and conduct thorough investigations.

💡Maintain open lines of communication with regulators to stay informed of sudden changes and ensure compliance

💡Train employees on emerging risks and new regulatory requirements related to AML/CFT during market downturns.

You’ve probably seen the news 📰 about $4.5 million from a UK regulator for the British arm of Coinbase, one of the largest global crypto exchanges, for breaching a voluntary agreement with the regulator related to risky user onboarding.

It wasn't a record or an extraordinary fine from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), but it still deserves the attention of AML officers for a couple of reasons.

1️⃣ The million-dollar fine was not imposed for systematic and massive breaches, but for the fact that 0.34% (or 13,416 in absolute numbers) of onboarded customers were classified as 'high risk', which precisely was a breach of their voluntary agreement with FCA. This suggests that even this level of inequity led to the FCA's last investigation and subsequent action.

2️⃣ The investigation didn't focus on crypto asset transactions, but on the company's e-money transfer services. This sends a message that these types of services are on the FCA's radar.

3️⃣ FCA's decision could mean more scrutiny for other cryptocurrency exchanges in the country (deja vu of crypto scandals in the US?) and lead to platforms seeking more crypto-friendly regulatory jurisdictions. This fine marks the first time the FCA has taken enforcement action under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011.

4️⃣ Voluntary agreements with regulators do not guarantee tranquility, as Coinbase entered into a voluntary agreement with FCA back in 2020 that prevented it from taking on new high-risk customers while it addressed those issues.

5️⃣ There is still room for negotiations with this regulator as the FCA said that Coinbase "qualified" for a 30% discount on the fine as it "agreed to resolve the matter".
