AFC Trend Radar
Future-proof compliance

Anticipate and manage anti-financial crime compliance trends

Navigating change with confidence

Technologies, regulatory requirements, and emerging threats are continuously reshaping the compliance landscape. Our AFC Trend Radar enables a systematic assessment of these developments by analysing their impact and potential. This provides companies with a solid foundation for strategic alignment and technology selection.

The focus is on mega, macro, and micro trends that shape the financial sector. While mega trends remain stable over the long term and have profound effects on society and the economy, macro trends represent significant movements within the financial industry. Micro trends, on the other hand, are often short-term, highly dynamic, and can fundamentally disrupt business models. Our Trend Radar helps you understand these developments and take targeted action.

Authorities and financial institutions (FIs) are highly aware of the challenge of detecting financial crime. Modern criminals are using increasingly more complex structures and are acting across multiple financial institutions and jurisdictions. Parties, such as FIs, FIUs , and law enforcement, operating alone encounter challenges in the identification and tracing of suspicious behavior.

With the Transparency Register and Financial Information Act (TraFinG), the German legislature transposes the applicable EU Directives (EU) 2015/839 (Money Laundering Directive) and (EU) 2019/1153 (Financial Information Directive) into German law. The conversion of the transparency register from a backup register to a full register and the EU-wide interconnection of registers are intended to enable a fast and simple communication between the member states and Europol. For this, the EU stipulates the use of structured data records in a uniform data format at country level.

Malta – the centre of criticism for years. As the first EU member state, the country has recently made it to the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) due to increased and persistent money laundering and terrorist financing risks. The "grey list" is a global list of countries under increased scrutiny for deficiencies in the implementation of FATF standards.
