financial crime prevention
We work with Banks, Fintech, Payment Providers, and the third parties they work with, such as call centres, technology companies, and PR / media firms – all with the aim of understanding, addressing and preventing financial crime.
Through our consultancy and advisory services, which include a range of world leading experts, we help create bespoke strategies that design out crime from systems, products, and processes.
Education is a key part of our core belief – that people play a key role in protecting against financial crime. We equip teams with criminological insights they can apply day-to-day.
In our Research Labs, we deep dive into emerging threats, money mule networks, and systemic vulnerabilities. Producing whitepapers and briefings, we share our insights on platforms around the world.
our mission
Financial crime isn’t just about numbers on a balance sheet, it’s about people’s lives. Every scam, every fraud, every laundered pound has a ripple effect. It erodes trust, exploits the vulnerable, and undermines the economy. At the Financial Crime Lab, our mission is to turn evidence into action. We bridge the gap between research and real-world practice, helping organisations build resilience against scams, fraud, and money laundering.
We believe progress comes from more than compliance or quick fixes. It requires insight, innovation, and collaboration across sectors. By combining criminological research, frontline experience, and behavioural science, we design smarter systems, empower people, and safeguard communities.
Our purpose is simple but ambitious: to reduce the human and financial harm caused by financial crime, and to create a safer, fairer economy for everyone.
