What is Money
   Laundering?


The Three Stages in
Money Laundering...
            BY

Money Laundering is the process of taking ‘dirty’ funds and converting it
into ‘clean’ funds.


‘Dirty funds’ are criminally-derived proceeds which are then converted into
other assets so that they can be reintroduced into legitimate commerce in
order to conceal their true origin or ownership – ‘clean funds’


There are three stages in money laundering:



                             Placement

                             Layering

                             Integration
1. Placement

Placement is the first stage in money laundering where the cash
proceeds of criminal activity enter into the financial system.
This is most critical stage for any money launderer as the criminal can
effectively mask his ‘dirty’ funds by commingling his ‘clean’ funds and
create an aura of legitimacy.
Examples of Placement include:

            Depositing into bank accounts via tellers, ATMs, or night
deposits

             Changing currency to cashiers checks, bankers drafts or other
negotiable instruments

            Exchanging small notes/bills for large notes/bills

            Smuggling or shipping cash outside the county




2. Layering


Layering is the second stage in money laundering where attempts are
made to distance the money from its illegal source through layers of
financial transactions.
Examples of Layering include:

           Sending funds to different onshore and offshore bank
      accounts

            Creating complex financial transactions

            Loans and borrowing against financial and non-financial
      assets
Letters of credit, Bank Guarantees, Financial instruments, etc.

            Investments and investment schemes

            Insurance products




3. Integration

Integration is the third stage of money laundering. This stage involves the
re-introduction of the illegal proceeds into legitimate commerce by
providing a legitimate-appearing explanation for the funds.
Examples of Integration include:



            Buying businesses

            Investing in luxury goods

            Buying commercial property

            Buying residential property




As you can see in the graphic above, banking institutions are required by
money launderers to conceal their illegal funds and that is why it is
important that Know-Your-Customer (KYC) checks are done on
customers. In certain cases there may be a need for Enhanced Due
Diligence (EDD) on clients.
Money laundering can’t happen without banks being involved somewhere
within the three stages. Since they are our first line of defense against
criminals, by having robust controls and access to accurate KYC data,
banks will prevent many money laundering attempts. At the same time
other KYC covered entities are required to check their clients against
warning lists issued by governments and regulators.
