ABSTRACT

Money laundering remains a significant challenge to the integrity and stability of the global financial system, requiring robust mechanisms to detect and prevent illicit activities. This study examines the role of digital banking in combating money laundering, focusing on the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), block chain, and big data analytics. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving a survey of 300 banking professionals, compliance officers, and technology experts, the research highlights the effectiveness of digital banking platforms in enhancing transaction monitoring, customer verification, and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Key findings indicate that while digital banking significantly strengthens AML efforts, challenges such as high implementation costs, regulatory disparities, and evolving criminal tactics persist. The study emphasizes the importance of global regulatory harmonization, workforce development, and public-private partnerships to address these challenges and fully harness the potential of digital banking in combating money laundering. The research offers actionable recommendations to enhance AML frameworks and foster a secure financial ecosystem in the digital age.
