Financial crime is getting smarter and more global. That’s why platforms like Capital.com must stay one step ahead in the fight against  worldwide illegal activities. Our actions aim to help protect clients, build trust in the system and at a wider scope support international efforts to stop crime.

What does AML cover?

AML laws are designed to tackle a wide range of predicate/financial crimes, like:

  • Trafficking of illegal goods
  • Terrorist financing
  • Corruption and misuse of public funds
  • Tax evasion
  • Fraud

The ultimate purpose of AML is spotting and stopping attempts to ‘clean’ money that’s been illegally made to look legitimate.
