What is AML?

Before explaining the meaning of anti-money laundering (AML), it is important to understand what money laundering is. Money laundering is the process of disguising the financial proceeds generated from crime as legitimate income. 

Anti-money laundering is the process of combatting this problem by creating a framework of legal and regulatory processes businesses must follow to prevent criminals from being able to disguise their illegal funds and monitor who they do business with.
