At Sopra Steria – Financial Economic Crime (FEC), we provide banks and financial institutions with digital tools to manage risks, protect customers, and mitigate the impact of financial economic crime. As gatekeepers of the financial system, banks play a crucial role in protecting our economy against criminal interference. As a result, financial institutions are subject to increasingly strict regulation and supervision. At the same time, global economic instability and increasingly advanced, technology-driven financial crime make the work of banks increasingly difficult.

Some figures: It is estimated that 16 billion euros of criminal money is laundered annually in the Netherlands. Less than 1% of the criminal flows passing through the global banking system are actually stopped. Therefore, banks must radically change their approach in the fight against FEC. Fortunately, there are tactical changes that banks can implement quickly to reduce the effect of financial economic crime.
