What is Idenfo fighting?
The IMF estimates that money laundering accounts for 2-5% of the world’s GDP. That’s over a trillion dollars each year, roughly equal to the economy of Spain.
Money laundering is not just a financial crime; it weakens societies, erodes trust in institutions, and causes hardship for millions. The funds that could make our world better are instead funneled into corruption and crime. In the end, it is ordinary people who bear the cost, paying not only their own taxes but also those of criminals who evade them.
How is Idenfo fighting this?
Too often the fight against money laundering is handled by stand-alone processes e.g. performing a risk assessment on just one aspect of compliance; creating policies and procedures that no one understands or complies with; or, AML KYC solutions which are not integrated and unable to assess risks across your business.
Idenfo aims to provide leading solutions to bridge these issues, to bring coherence to fighting financial crime and in a seamless joined up way. This is the only way to beat the criminals.
