The AML rules aim to help detect and report suspicious activity, including predicate offences to money laundering and terrorist financing, such as securities fraud and market manipulation. These rules define the thresholds, patterns, and behaviors that may indicate suspicious activity, such as unusual transaction sizes, frequency, or patterns inconsistent with a customer’s profile.

AML rules are integral to automated monitoring systems, enabling continuous and efficient scrutiny of financial transactions and customer behavior to ensure compliance with AML/CFT regulations and mitigate financial crime risks.
