How Inbound Payment Monitoring Changes the Money Laundering Fight

What are money mules?

Money mules are accounts set up by either witting or unwitting individuals to receive illicit funds. The funds might be connected to a criminal’s fraudulent schemes or money laundering activities. Money mules are critical cogs in the financial crime machine as they give fraudsters and criminals a method to receive their ill-gotten funds.

As scams and fraud become more prevalent, criminals will increasingly turn to money mules to move their illegal proceeds. That’s why inbound payment monitoring will become essential in banks’ efforts to identify and stop money mules.
