Financial crime detection is broken

$3.1 trillion in illegal transactions were made in 2023. More than $800 billion was connected to drug trafficking, $350 billion to human trafficking, and $11.5 billion to terrorism. Another $500 billion was lost to fraud.  

Less than 1% of these crimes are stopped.

That feels like an error of focus. Not an error of ability.

$350 billion

More than a third of a trillion dollars is generated each year by human trafficking.

50 million

There are more than 50 million people trapped in modern slavery.

>1%

Less than 1% of financial crimes are stopped.

New research by the RedFlag Accelerator reveals banks think they are 8 months behind criminals.

Some of the largest institutions believe the gap could be as wide as 23 months.

However, they’re confident they can catch up.

27%

Over a quarter of banks blame internal governance as the main reason banks are so far behind.

23 months

Most banks think criminals are around 8 months ahead of the banks, with the largest institutions believing the gap is as wide as 23 months.

57%

More than half of banks believe AI will make it more difficult to detect financial crimes.
