A U.S. Treasury bureau chasing financial crime
UK Finance and banks are expanding real-time data sharing to flag fraud and verify customer citizenship signals amid rising APP fraud, investment scams and online scams. Regulators push for stronger platform responsibilities as losses climb and reimbursement rules remain in force.
Authorities from the US and Mexico are expanding efforts to combat cross-border crime, including sanctions against cartel-linked entities and measures targeting fuel theft networks that fund violence. The actions come as Washington and allied governments seek to disrupt illicit revenue streams and curb drug trafficking across the region.
European regulators are preparing a package to deregulate and potentially cut capital backstops for banks, aiming to create pan-European lenders capable of competing with U.S. giants. The plan includes cutting Pillar 2 leverage add-ons, reducing capital buffers, easing reporting, and outlining a common deposit-insurance framework. The move follows similar U.S. and U.K. deregulation signals and is seen as a test of Europe’s capacity to finance large-scale strategic investments.
