The rapid growth of digital financial services, fintech innovations, and online transactions has created new opportunities for efficiency and inclusion, but it has also increased exposure to fraud, scams, and financial crime. Money laundering and terrorist financing continue to evolve in complexity, with criminals exploiting digital platforms, emerging technologies, and cross-border flows to circumvent traditional safeguards. Central banks and financial institutions must therefore strengthen their systems and frameworks to detect, prevent, and respond effectively to these threats.
Central banks are also exploring advanced technologies, including AI-enabled tools, to detect suspicious patterns, enhance real-time monitoring, and support Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) efforts. This course provides a comprehensive overview of emerging threats, best practices in fraud prevention, and the application of AI and digital tools to strengthen AML/CFT frameworks. Participants will gain insights into global and regional experiences, including lessons from SEACEN member jurisdictions, to build more resilient and secure financial systems.
This course aims to enhance participants’ understanding of fraud and scam risks and strengthen their capacity to design effective safeguards within the financial system. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
The participants are expected to be working in the payments division or IT departments and should have more than 3 years of experience in the related areas. With the consent of the central banks in their jurisdictions, participants from stand-alone authorities are also welcome.
The faculty will be drawn from SEACEN-member Central Banks, external experts and SEACEN faculty.
