Fight FinCrime Forum 2023 is here!

The fight against financial crime is a key element in maintaining the integrity of financial systems, preventing money laundering, fraud and corruption, and ensuring a fair and transparent global economy. It builds trust in financial institutions and contributes to the overall stability of the global financial ecosystem.

Fight FinCrime Forum is an annual event that aims to connect AML and financial crime professionals so they can build networks and synergy, to provide an opportunity for exchange of experiences and to share the knowledge and best practices.   

Fight FinCrime Forum was designed to spread the awareness of how to detect and prevent financial crime, how to protect people, families and businesses, and to build the unity in countering FinCrime. 

The theme of this year's edition is Building a resilient and ethical financial system.
