In the current era, measures against money laundering and terrorist financing have become increasingly crucial. Recently, the Central Bank of the Netherlands has taken action against a Dutch banking organization and has announced that it will be toughening its stance against other financial institutions.

Money laundering finances criminal activities such as organized crime and drug trafficking. Anti-money laundering regulations are put in place to prevent such activities. The know-your-customer (KYC) principle plays a vital role in this and assists financial institutions in reducing risks.
