A further tightening of financial regulation in Singapore
It may seem like money laundering is on the rise if recent news headlines are anything to go by. But the fact is, criminals have been successfully laundering money through financial institutions for hundreds of years. The difference now is that financial regulators around the world – including the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) – are cracking down on banks to ensure that adequate processes are put in place to prevent criminals laundering money and financing terrorist activity. The landscape for financial institutions is well and truly changing, and the regulations are only going to get tighter.
