Financial Crime Campaign Week

Welcome to our FS Council Campaign week 2024 - using technology to combat financial crime 

Under the theme of fighting financial crime with technology, we are excited to launch our FS Council campaign week, running until Friday 31st October. Throughout this week, we are coordinating videos and written submissions of how our members are proactively combatting financial crime with innovative technologies.

Join us as we explore with members the real-world tech use cases to stop financial crime in its tracks, making a positive impact on people, society, the economy, and the planet.
