The BACB supports the efforts of law enforcement authorities and actively cooperates with them in preventing and detecting financial crimes related to the laundering of funds obtained from illegal activity. Banks have strict rules and requirements to identify their customers.

To raise awareness of this type of fraud, the money mulling awareness campaign #DontbeaMule kicks off today across Europe. The awareness-raising materials on the banks website inform the public about how these criminals operate, how the customers can protect themselves and what to do if they or their acquaintances become a victim of money laundering schemes.
