Illicit financial activity has grown by an estimated $1.3 trillion in just two years since Nasdaq Verafin’s inaugural Global Financial Crime Report, reaching approximately $4.4 trillion in 2025. Fraud losses climbed to $579.4 billion, with scams increasing by $62 billion over 2 years. That represents an annualized growth rate of 19.3%. Bank fraud was $517.4 billion in 2025, with an annualized growth of 8.2%. This rapid rise highlights the scale of the threat and the urgent need for coordinated, intelligence-led action across the global financial system. 

We're looking forward to joining the 6th Annual ACAMS Carolinas Chapter AML & OFAC Symposium on September 9 in Charlotte, NC.    As financial institutions navigate evolving AML, sanctions, and financial crime risks, industry collaboration has never been more important. Stop by the Nasdaq Verafin booth to connect with our team and discuss how organizations are strengthening detection, investigations, and information sharing strategies.    We look forward to connecting with compliance and financial crime professionals from across the region. 

Scam operations have become a structured, low-risk, high-reward global business. In the 2025 Global Financial Crime Report webinar, Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), delivered a pointed reminder: when individual countries or sectors raise their defenses, scammers do not stop – they relocate to wherever the bar is lowest. GASA research revealed some Southeast Asian jurisdictions, fraud has become so institutionalized it represents up to 50% of national GDP. The implication for the industry is direct and urgent. Coordinating across financial services, technology platforms, telecommunications, and consumer education channels simultaneously is required to close the gaps that organized crime exploits. 📊 Explore the 2026 Global Financial Crime Report: https://lnkd.in/e4AJwXiw 

Nasdaq Verafin is proud to announce a new commercial and technical partnership with Q6 Cyber, a threat intelligence provider specializing in extracting compromised financial data from difficult-to-access sources such as the dark web, deep web, and private messaging platforms.

Fraud often starts long before a suspicious transaction reaches a financial institution. As dark web activity fuels increasingly organized fraud schemes, cyber threat intelligence is helping organizations identify risks earlier and move fraud detection upstream.

Financial crime did not simply grow. It became professionalized. That is how Daniel Tannebaum, Partner and Global Anti-Financial Crime Practice Leader at Oliver Wyman and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, frames the trajectory of financial crime – a $4.4 trillion global epidemic in 2025, up $1.3 trillion in just two years. Criminals have built specialized, networked operations that span AML, fraud, trafficking, and corruption. They exploit gaps between institutions and jurisdictions and adopt the same scaling logic as any high-growth enterprise. The 2025 Global Financial Crime Report puts the threat in perspective, making a clear case for the need for a proportional, coordinated investment to respond.  📊 Access the 2026 Global Financial Crime Report: https://lnkd.in/e4AJwXiw

Increasingly, fraud begins on dark web marketplaces where stolen financial data is bought, sold and operationalized by criminal networks. As the lines between financial crime and cybercrime continue to blur, financial institutions need greater visibility into emerging threats before fraud reaches their channels. In this insightful article, Nick Pearson explores how cyber threat intelligence can help move fraud detection upstream, providing earlier warning of potential risk and adding valuable context to investigations.
