This white paper discusses the importance of leveraging machine learning (ML) for more effective anti-money laundering (AML) efforts. Money laundering involves three stages—placement, layering, and integration—where criminals aim to disguise illicit funds. Financial institutions struggle with identifying these activities, with less than 0.2% of laundered money detected.
