WHITE PAPER
APAC Financial Crime Outlook 2021: Banking on Uncertainty
In 2020, Covid-19 upended the global economy and presented a perfect storm of opportunity for criminals to exploit vulnerable systems, individuals and companies for illicit gains.

Yet, advances in technology and data practices have played a key role in helping financial institutions respond to financial crime threats as they evolved.

In this paper, we examine key areas where this has been observed most prominently, and our expectations for further progress in the year ahead.
95.5% of poll participants expected financial crime to increase during the pandemic
USD 4 billion imposed by APAC's regulators in fines for AML and KYC violations in the first half of 2020 with regulatory activity expected to increase in 2021
65% of respondents know or suspect that third parties they deal with may have been involved in a range of illegal, environmentally damaging activities
